MIT SHM, SYNC, GLX extensions support #40

Open xoureldeen opened 1 month ago

xoureldeen commented 1 month ago

without MIT SHM, SYNC, GLX extensions support xserver is useless.

Hmmm. That's a bit harsh. A reasonable response to that kind of comment is, "OK, perhaps you should implement the missing features and submit a pull request."

Seriously though, I am trying to use android-xserver on my Android tablet to display a Thunderbird (email client) instance running on my Debian Linux desktop. When I launch Thunderbird on the desktop (specifying the display as 192.168.1.13:0, which is correct - it works with xclock), it errors off with a message about GLX.

[GFX1-]: glxtest: GLX extension missing

Is there any way to make that configuration work? Is there any Android X server out there that does support GLX?

Thanks for this app!

I tried Mocha X11 from Google Play. It's not FOSS, and it is painfully slow when displaying Thunderbird (on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 anyway) and hard to use (buttons often don't respond when touched).
