Hi, Fabio!

Thank you for your interest to this project! But unfortunately this project now is in proof-of-concept state and usable only via loopback network. And as you notice it did not evolve by me for years. The problem is I changed my scientific theme by accident at this point and could not continue it as I have wanted. But I feel this project has big potential and space of improvement. It would be great if you want and can to handle this project and I will support you as I could.

Sorry for my english too! =)
Kind regards
Yury Shvedov

Hi, trying to have better performance on low cost spice thin client (for example rpi2) I saw too low performance, remote-viewer at 100% cpu with only one core used, but also xorg process with high cpu usage and all other things open unusable (including a simple terminal).
I tried with wayland using weston (GDK_BACKEND=wayland remote-viewer), spice performance is still too low on "high usage" but all other things is fully usable.
I'm trying to improve spice performance with opengles (using vc4 drivers) and compiling cairo for using it but for now I had some problems.
I tried to search other spice tests with wayland, I found this old project:
https://github.com/ein-shved/compositor-spice/
Is about weston backend, with very basic features and without recent commits.
Was posted also in this mailing list long time ago:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-April/008902.html
Seems interesting a possibility of better performance (including possible future acceleration with opengl and/or vulkan) and integratation.
Someone still working on it?

I also see a specific wayland client on freerdp for example:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/tree/master/client/Wayland
Doing something similar for spice client can be useful or other importance changes are needed for significative performance improve?

About qxl driver in linux domU's seems there are problems with many desktop envinment (gnome, kde, unity ecc... I saw it reasonable on lxde on my tests), I saw qxl kms support and something in drm about qxl, it can works for example for a fast test with weston drm backend and I should try or addition thing is needed?
Sorry is these are stupid questions but I don't have knowledge about.

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
