mer-qa / lipstick2vnc Goto Github PK

lipstick2vnc works okay but FPS is too low and is not comfortable for use. How can we increase it?

• find a way to figure out the device orientation
• allow user to rotate (like with --landscape/etc), based on the detected orientation
  • add a cmdline option --auto-orientation to enable this feature
  • or make this the default behavior, overriding with --portrait cmdline arg to disable (which is currently a no-op)

/dev/uinput device is owned by the group net_bt_stack
running lipstick2vnc as non-root user with --keyboard-handler will result in the keyboard device not loading.

workaround: append net_bt_stack group to user defaultuser/nemo
usermod -G net_bt_stack nemo

(or chown system.privileged /dev/uinput at boot or on the fly since SGID bit is set)

dunno how feasible this is, or what the proper approach would be. is there some nice way to do this in lipstick/wayland? maybe write some kinda horrible wrapper around /dev/uinput?

only US/QWERTY is supported currently and only latin charset.
perhaps cmdline args to select keyboard layout, but auto-detecting it from the client would be ideal

cmdline arg to lipstick2vnc to rotate image 90 degrees ccw before sending. (im assuming it would be implemented the same way as --scale)

After installation package service not started automatically

again, i know nothing about this, just making feature requests for the big missing features vs xorg to document whats missing

a la kimmoli's ancient build with --allow-all
