Once VirtualGL is using EGL 'behind the scenes', i.e. Although it is likely that this interposer will be rendered obsolete at some point (because the Weston developers have a long-term plan to support a hardware-accelerated headless remote display backend, and eventually the nVidia stuff will be sorted out), at the moment an interposer would be the easiest way to enable remote display with OpenGL hardware acceleration under Weston, which would likely spur development of remote display technologies based on that compositor.ĭepends on #10. Referring to TurboVNC/turbovnc#18 in the near term at least, it is going to be necessary to implement a Wayland EGL interposer in order to get OpenGL hardware acceleration in a Weston remote display environment with the nVidia proprietary drivers.
