And now for remote desktop technologies. Especially since currently the Onyx' "Monitor" application does not support "Normal EPD" mode, but only A2.

I tried to see how well the Max2 fares with Iordanov's bVNC:
very well, and better than with the MaxCarta. It is usable, though not of course the full productivity of a standard environment. Since it seems that currently, anyway, it is not possible to reduce the lag or have high framerates, the remote desktop solutions are not miles far from "software managed HDMI". I have not taken numbers and stats. Moreover, you have the advantage of the touchscreen - still to be implemented in the official solution (I would encourage it).

I tested x11vnc (the server) + bVNC through Wi-Fi (since I cannot yet get a USB networking #!xx^!^), and I obtained good quality and stability at ~10Mbps.

I attach a small video with the rates. The inspiration though suggested to test with Mrzyk and Moriceau's work for "Look" from Sebastien Tellier (an `iftop` window is above it to read the stats), so if you are easily offended don't watch it.

The attached is a zipped .mp4 video.
