Description

Implement a server that acts as a Remote Framebuffer protcol server (​https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6143) on the network side and as a display/input device pair on the local HelenOS IPC side.

This would allow running a graphical desktop even on a machine with no (supported) physical display. Also it would test the robustness of the display device interface.

    Add a simple remote framebuffer (VNC) server

and appeared in HelenOS 0.6.0.

Although I don't think you can run the compositor without physical display, you can share it via RFB protocol.
