Vnc for remote display?

[stdcerr]

Hi Pekka,

Thank you for that explanation. I found this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191555 which uses XRandR and i
found this quite interesting and was wondering if there's something similar
in wayland too that would be independent of the Window manager I choose to
use. I'll dig a bit deeper and see what I can find out.

Thanks in any case!
