I'm investigating using the vnc viewer in place of an X server on an old
X terminal. My original reason for this was that the display-card on the
terminal is not very fast; consequently I wondered whether I could just
redisplay a screen which was rapidly-rendered (eventually, when I get a
fast box) on another machine using VNC.

However after a brief perusal of the VNC mailing list archives I noticed
a few messages saying that the VNC X server is unaccelerated. I'd not
realised this as I didn't know how the VNC system worked. On an X
mailing list I saw a message saying that it would be possible to (IIRC)
produce a VNC 'module' (presumably in Xfree4), but there were no replies
there.

What is the situation with respect to this? Would such a thing be
possible, and would it act at as a 'card' or 'monitor'? If the latter,
or if 'filters' are possible, then could this enable an accelerated VNC
server?

Many thanks,
