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.

Hi, I have only little free time and very low knowledge but I'm looking if is possible rebase your project on latest weston version and try it.
To make easier and faster see what are the add/changes of spice compositor and rebase it I created a new branch with latest upstream commit you used, all changes except the latest commit in first commit added and a cherry-pick of the latest:
https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commits/test
I not saw an howto and from a very fast code look seem that "
--enable-spice-compositor --enable-monitor-renderer" add in configure is needed and when start listen seems hardcoded on localhost:5912
@
Yury Shvedov: Can you send me all essential notes for use it if they exist?
For what you know rebase on latest weston version will require many changes/fixes or should be working or easy to adapt? (documented api/functions weston changelog for compositor or other module)
Should be possible add other spice options, for example compression, where listen (ecc...) to pass to spice-server and make it easy possible use them with small patches for fast lan tests or require bigger work?

I saw that rdp is already present by years but any time I looked it seems always that newer freerdp version (in development was needed), not good stable api probably?
Are spice the things used/needed more "stable" or
continuous changes (and version prerequisite increments) will be needed?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.


Sorry for my english too! =)
Kind regards

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.
