[Spice-devel] spice-gtk on MAC OSX

[Mario Lombardo]

Hi,

I just compiled the spice-gtk client (spicy) on OSX 
(http://www.spice-space.org/page/OSX_Client/Build).

I am able to connect to the spice server using this client but it is 
more slow than any VNC client I know.


I looked into the code and found two different places where this client 
seems to be different than the x11 or GDI versions:

1.) It uses sw_canvas.c
2.) It uses spice-widget-cairo.c

Is it possible that the slow rendering results in the execution time one 
of those two files? Which investigation would make more sense: Would it 
be better to provide a SDL cairo version or should it accelerate the 
client when there is a canvas option optimized for OSX (quarz I guess)? 
Is it possible to test the gl canvas on OSX? I didn´t found anything 
about the gl implementation in the configure script.

Thank you.

Mario
