I have to check wheter the "seamless" X11 support in Snow Leopard is still not so "seamless" as it was Panther (i.e. character rendering, sometimes close to unreadable). Gotta check this evening. Anyway: "You're right, using X for remote applications is not a full answer. I do think HTML5 is a better answer than most people acknowledge" I am not sure I would use such an architecture for a local application, at least today. That would mean to use some sort of application server, the application within the application server and then a browser to run the app. Very heavy for the machine. I know that HTML 5 can do wonderful things. I am working on a program thad does HEAVY use of html 5 and javascript, a program meant to run on either the desktop or a tablet. I had to beef mine to 8G mostly because of the JavaScript/HTML5 part of the architecture Then what? two output modules for the same program? Are you kidding or are you drunk? Could things improve? Probably. If you design an environment that has an HTML5 rendering engine as its graphic engine (acting also as a server for remote rendering requests) and is some sort of javascript machine. By the way, the application I am working on relies on a certain implementation (webkit) and does not run on, say, firefox. Wonderful, HTML 5 succeeded in turning the clock about 20 years back when IE3 understood (non standard) tags that Netscape did not (and vice versa). > https://github.com/kempj/remote-wayland Could you explain a bit more? BTW, AFAIK X11 does move bitmaps around the net only when it has no other mean to request some kind of drawing. -- /\ ___ Ubuntu: ancient /___/\_|_|\_|__|___Gian Uberto Lauri_____ African word //--\| | \| | Integralista GNUslamico meaning "I can \/ coltivatore diretto di software not install già sistemista a tempo (altrui) perso...
