Hi.
hi
I've found some mention to the "multiple_window" of Gem. How do I get started with this? Are there any docs that describe how to get Gem working in multiple windows?
now there aren't yet. it is still an experimental branch on the CVS called "multiple_window"
network. But I'm excited about using the multiple_window feature to perhaps have only one machine running the environment, and just sending the other Gem windows to the other machines. Can someone explain how I would go about doing this?
the problem is that as multiple_window is done right now, it depends on display-list sharing, which is not possible across multiple machines. thus it doesn't yet work to have one "master" machine running the gem-patch and several slaves which do the actual drawing.
in the meantime you could try chromium [1], which is some virtual driver that allows to render to several remote machines. i have no idea though, about performance.
if you have any technical knowledge and are willing to help a hand, we would welcome you warmly....
