It is, I am the only user, and its all behind dd-wrt, which has not been penetrated in over a decade. If it wasn't for the need of a switch that allows these machines access to the net for updates and such, this particular cable could be 10" long. But since there is a gigabit switch on the other side of the room, the cat6's will be 50' each by the time they are fastened down with romex staples. The source SBC, an R-Pi 3b which is running an up to date raspian (debian Jessie built for arm) is running LinuxCNC, which is commanding a 1500 lb 11x36 Sheldon lathe about 65 yo, will be feeding the display data to a odroid64, which is claimed to be able to drive a 4k display with a 60 Hz refresh rate. But when doing so over the ssh xforwarding encrypted path, is so slow the screen refresh is about 3x a second. Very distracting, and potentially dangerous when the machine can move 2 or 3 inches in that time frame. Changing ssh to a faster protocol only got it up to 5 or 6 frames. I need to get that flicker rate up to a less distracting rate, something above 20 Hz if possible. The raspi looks at the machine and takes corrective action every millisecond but it hasn't got the memory to do the x at the same time. The odroid64 has 2x the memory and more gpu's and if I can get the data to it, ought to be ble to do it in real time. > Also, all caveats with "modern" toolkits apply here the same (they > tend to be dead slow over tcp because of the massive image putting, > you'll only get indirect GL etcetc.) > > Cheers, > Thomas We will see, if I can make it work. I was told I was supposed to just remove the '-nolisten tcp' from its launch of exec /usr/bin/X "$@" in xinit/xserverrc, and that would enable it, no one else has said to just remove the "no". What would be the nmap line to show that it is indeed listening? Thank you Thomas. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
