VNC for LE

  • VNC is VNC .. and works with the legacy Pi codebase in LE 9.2.8. However VNC stopped working on RPi and all platforms using V4L2/GBM from LE10 onwards. It's an inherent problem with how zero-copy graphics pipelines work and a "fix" will be non-trivial to engineer; and we're not aware of anyone working on something.

  • It makes no difference. VNC relies on copy/cloning the windowing system output. LE does not use a windowing system. So VNC would need an interface that taps directly into the zero-copy (designed not to copy/clone content) display pipeline.
