[Chromium-users] chromium renderserver with DRI

[Dan B. P. <ph...@cs...>]

this question may belong on the xf4vnc or vncproxy mailing list, but 
it's also related to chromium...

the Chromium Renderserver Setup guide 
(http://vncproxy.sourceforge.net/setup.html) says to use XF4VNC as the 
Xserver, since it supports the VNC and Xcliplist.  However, if Chromium 
is rendering to the XF4VNC Xserver, that Xserver doesn't have direct 
rendering enabled, so it's really slow.  Is that the correct setup?

I also tried enabling the Xcliplist and vnc extensions on my regular 
xserver (xorg) and set the renderspu to render to that display.  that 
works...but when I connect to the display through a vncviewer, most of 
the updates are dropped and I just see very choppy sequences (for 
atlantis). 

If the point is to render on the application node and access the display 
with a vncviewer, then it seems like running Xorg with the VNC 
extension, or using x11vnc will give faster rendering times than 
Chromium over VNC, is that correct?

tia,
