Anyone know if wayland will support remote "clients" and local "servers" the way X does today? What about xdmcp? Losing either would be quite disruptive for me.

- tux1968 15y agoThere is currently no network transparency (thus no xdmcp either) in Wayland. Although the primary developer has left the possibility open that in the future some remote display support could be added. Of course it is something that could be shimmed into another part of the stack by (NX, VNC, etc) as it has been on Windows for instance. Until either of those happen, X will still happily coexist with Wayland.
- kzrdude 15y agoNX is far superior to X for remote apps, so clearing the way for a new remoting protocol is good.
- prg318 15y agoWhile wayland-native applications would not be network transparent (as wayland does not support this), you would still be able to run X11 applications over the network. You can run X11 applications in Wayland (like OSX) so you can also run remote X11 applications in Wayland (like OSX).
