affected pixel rectangle is sent via UDP/RPC to the SunRay
for display. All this is not too different from VNC, except that the
SunRay protocol is somewhat more flexible in the graphical primitives
used.
What would be the best starting point to write a SunRay driver for
XFree86? What interface is

The first step would be booting a SunRay from a machine which is not
running Sun's SunRay software. And because SunRay's only load softwar

That shouldn't be too difficult. Take the Xvfb sources and teach to send
the screen contents to the SunRay in regular inte
