One other thought I had on Terry's idea, actually two but anyway. If we could include a xprotocol/xlib compatibility layer this idea .... one possible method of improving performance over the vnc protocol would to base it upon polygons instead of rectangles, this should reduce the number of raw pixels drawn by quite a few depending on the server side algorithims to implement this capability.. I have a few other ideas' but I'll let them rest until I see what terry has to say rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
