The cheapest hack is probably to see if the X server supports the MITSHM
extension.  If it doesn't, odds are you are on a remote display.

[This assumption breaks under VNC, but I guess that's pretty hard to
detect anyway.]

Hi Federico,

Thanks for the tips! That sounds useful!

I think VNC is not a problem, because it doesn't send every frame over 
the network, so it won't crawl.

Thanks!

How to detect display speed in custom widget?

2007-09-06 Thread Daniel Yek
Hi,

(I didn't get a response at [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Technical-wise, gtk-devel-list is the best list for this question...I'm 
hoping someone would have an answer for me.)

I'm wondering if anybody is experienced in writing smart widget that 
would react differently depending on whether the current display is 
local/fast for graphics animation or remote/slow where all animation 
should be kept to the minimum?

What techniques are suitable for drawing speed detection?

Thanks a bunch.
