What I really want is to extend my host's desktop onto the Android device. I'd settle for something as simple as Synergy working (in the wishlist, not done yet).
There are numerous solutions for Windows and Mac (eg AirDisplay, SplashTop) but nothing to extend Linux desktops onto Android devices.
- Elv13 14y agoBoth GTK+ (broardway) and Qt (lighthouse) have some sort of HTML5 frontend. It is the most portable solution, if not a little slow. Extending the desktop can be done with some VNC+Xinerama trickery too. But it ain't easy, I will give you that. If you want to drag and drop a window from Xorg to Android (2 server), get ready for trouble. Not that X can't support it, it does, but modern toolkit hate being redirected like that, it is a very niche X11 feature.
- rogerbinns 14y agoIn other words not particularly practical :-) I would expect the tablet to be plugged in as a virtual monitor (ie xrandr would should it as another monitor) and if you take the tablet away it should be no different than disconnecting a monitor.
