Not sure what you mean. Is that the rdesktop/RDP thing or the like? It
requires significantly more stuff.

Otherwise I saw different improvements:
- some kind of "mirror driver" but that's no longer compatible with
Vista and afterwards
- DirectX 8/9 solutions at least

But they both are very fastidious:
- Advanced SDKs needed (DDK, DirectX) and those have some proprietary licences
- I'm not even sure it allows pure C and that mingw/cygwin is able to use them

The proposed solution is a poor man's, best-effort solution: at least
it exists, but it is nowadays almost unusably slow.

Best regards,
