Remote desktop, video playback issues

[ayourk]

From what I understand, there is a way to use x11vnc with -rawfb, but I haven't found out what the magic is just yet.

Having remote desktop working would make a lot of things easier with the Pinephone. I've managed to get X forwarding working with some applications but performance is terrible. (The X wire protocol dates to the late 1980s and it's a pig. Emulating it in Wayland probably makes matters even worse.)

This package gnome-remote-desktop in Debian buster looks like it might do the trick. It's supposed to support both X and Wayland. Mobian though looks like it's based on Debian bullseye (the upcoming Debian 11) which is still under development and I have no idea of the status of this package in that version. Haven't had time to experiment with it.

I learned that there are 2 x11vnc type projects for Wayland:  wayvnc and waypipe
