nanogui: Thread: microserver for grafic consolle?

Hi guys,
recently I discovered microwindows and nano-x, but while I was reading
the FAQs I haven't understood a thing: is there the chance to connect to
a daemon xdm?
I mean: is there anything similar to the X -query 192.168.0.1 command
(maybe for microwindows under DOS)?

Thanks for your time and... I'm looking forward to reading from you!
Kisses, Patrizia.

mi dispiace!

Nano-X does not run as a network server (yet).  It is mainly for
embedded devices, which don't normally want or need the overhead of
a network enabled server.  

We have been considering it (and when I say we, I mean Alex Holden, who
wrote most of the inital socket work), but there are a couple
of sticking points here and there.  

If you really need a distributed server, then you will probably have to
stick with X.  But if you want to run your apps on the same
processor as your server, then we're glad to have you aboard.

It's about a two-liner fix to add network connectivity to the
nano-X client/server paradigm.  I think we should do it.

However, Nano-X does not have support for byte swapping
and sizeof(int) fixups, so the network connectivity will only
work if the endianness and sizeof(int) are the same.

More than two lines (more like thirty or forty), but I agree we should
probably support basic non-encrypted, non-access controlled TCP/IP access
as long as it is a compile time option which defaults to OFF with a big
warning about how insecure and dangerous it is. Once I have a bit more
time I'll finish writing the TEA Total network applets, and we can have
secure encryption and compression support.
