: Can Nano-X display on remote X-term, much like regular X would?
I assume you're asking whether the nano-X server and
an associated nano-X client application can run on seperate
computer systems, using the network to connect between them,
for display.
The current codebase uses UNIX sockets to connect clients
with the server. A named socket on the /tmp filesystem is used
for the connect() operation, and does not currently explicitly
support TCP rather than UNIX connections. It's not too much
work to add support for connecting to a remote socket rather
than local socket. I seem to remember somebody said they
wrote TCP connection support, but I don't have the patch.
If you're familiar with network programming using sockets,
I can help you should you want to add this support.
Regards,
Greg
