so you suggest to keep using the slave labor, er, mit students
for upkeep of the xorg code?
(the problem?) is that open gl in it's current shape and form is
not well suited for remote apps anymore anyway.
me thinks remoting gles and using that on desktop is a cheaper
and easier to maintain path that the upkeep of the old behemoth x11
(or getting full desktop ogl remote capable)
not sure how expensive it's to rewrite your (large and unwieldy i take
it)
x11 clients to remote mode capable gles (3). (that exists solely in my
fantasies
of young girls love and hate ;)
