We did something like that on our mobile harbour cranes, but it was really
slow due to network latency. Each function Gr*() requires a loopback between
the application and the server, you can imagine the result. At the end we
resolved using VNC, see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/. The VNC client
exists in many flavors, you can run it from Windows or even as a java applet
in a browser.
We ported VNC server to nano-X using libVNCServer by Johannes E. Schindelin.
I don't know if Greg has received the patch - if did not, I can send it now.
Bye
Fabio

Hi,
I have had nano-x built on a PPC platform(server linked in) for a settopbox
kind of application.
now i'd like to seperate server and client such that nano-x server running
on
the ppc platform, while client running on a x86 based linux box or win32
platform....the apparent idea is to seperate the gui running on the linux
and/or win32 system with the firmware in flash memory on ppc platform, gui
change/upgrade would then be independent on the ppc box.....
anybody has done such kind of things, and any idea, tips or caveat to
advise??? Thanx
Harry
