HI Pix, Miller and others
the way I have this running is to seperate the control to a laptop and the rendering to a linux box with a good graphics card. i use netsend/netreceive to send info from the laptop to a patch i have written on the box which opens the gem window at maximum size. i use pd -nogui on the box to get rid of the gui. i use twm as the window manager as it should be the simplest and fastest. i have added my own .twmrc to remove title bars and boundaries from the window, but i cannot get the positioning requests to be honoured, so i have to drag the top left corner of the gem window to the top left corner of the screen manually. suggestions welcome
i chose netsend as the control mech because i believe it would be the simplest and fastest rather than using some remote control / X-window confusion.
this is planned also to be very portable - for a workshop i need only take the video card and linux install CDs, all the extra code is on the laptop, so i can de-Bill a PC at the venue and make it do clever (well, half-clever) things [hopefully] quite quickly....
haha
