No compositor needed? #104

Open vanfanel opened 2 years ago

vanfanel commented 2 years ago

Hi there!

I was looking for a TTY emulator on Wayland that wouldn't need a compositor (ie, the TTY emulator would be "it's own compositor") and I found this.

So, am I right to believe this doesn't need a compositor at all? That would be awesome in order to replace the aging FBDev TTY consoles!

This is a regular wayland/X11 client. You're looking for something like ksmcon.

@91861 I see. Are you planning to add shaders support, btw? Imagine curved screen, mask, scanlines...

I found a terminal emulator that supports GLSL shaders, so maybe it's easy to incorporate the function? https://github.com/carld/crt-term
