Create Virtual Desktop as a Second Screen
When I receive my new laptop HP Spectre x360, I'm interested in using it as the second monitor for my fedora workstation. Because I can use touchscreen and pen in Spectre. The basic idea is that workstation creates a virtual monitor and shares it using VNC. What is more: I hacked my Sony digital paper and installed an VNC viewer. What if I can use it as an tty screen and coding at digital paper screen. It could be a full screen terminal emulator run in virtual desktop session.
In the side of hardware support, now I only find the way for intel GPU to create virtual desktop rather than proprietary nvidia driver.
In the side of software, the xrandr is used to create a
virtual desktop, but xrand don't work at Wayland rather
than X11. And KDE and Gnome under Wayland don't support VNC service
now.
Recently, I note the vncsee document how to setup as a second Screen on Linux with Sway and wayvnc. I will have a review for there.
The way to clip partial screen to vncserver: x11vnc -display :0 -auth guess -clip 1920x1080+919+2160 -forever
krfb-virtualmonitor --name test --password test --resolution 1280x760 --port 2024
