In my opinion, you will just need to write an evas module engine for the graphic part that use the evas software engine and ecore_vnc library that retrieve the event and send them with ecore-input. Then just another small piece of code will be needed in ecore-evas so the link with both library will be done. > Probably ecore should be modified, but before starting to dig inside ecore and > evas sources I prefer to ask to people with better understanding of EFL. It sounds like a really interesting engine to me, so if you need help during don't hesite to poke me. But anyway many people can certainly help you here or on irc #edevelop channel.
