The X network transparency is already hugely inefficient compared to RDP or VNC. I also really hope when Dalaa 1.0 comes out (soon, please?) someone starts an initiative to make first class networked display / video streaming a reality on it. You don't really need a new protocol, just vnc-dalaa or rdp-dalaa rather than pixel buffer updates. See how Steam / Nvidia streaming works, or Miracast, except substitute hardware accelerated h264 with opencl accelerated Dalaa for a nice open standard.
- sp332 12y agoThe issue for me is that I'll need a working video driver and framebuffer on the remote device, whereas with X I only need to set those up on the viewing end. Theoretically, someone could make a Wayland server that didn't render locally, but no one has made one of those yet.
