12 | | In the context of Xpra, Xdummy allows us to use a better, more up to date X11 display server, one that supports more extensions, especially the RandR and GL extensions (it may also be faster for some X11 operations - though not all, see [/attachment/wiki/Xdummy/Xvfb-vs-Xorg-x11perf.txt Xvfb-vs-Xorg-x11perf.txt]). For many display bugs (ie: #1, #2) this is the only workable solution: it allows Xpra to resize the virtual display to match the client's resolution so as to prevent windows and menus from overflowing beyond the edge of the screen. |
