Hi experts:<div> In Xvfb implementation, the frame buffer is allocated with IPC_PRIVATE if uses SHM. </div><div> Given that IPC_PRIVATE is just useful to parent/child process, and given X is a single process, </div><div>
I don't realize what is the use. </div><div> Why not add a param which allows user pass a string to produce IPC key, and create share memory</div><div> with the key, then other process will really access to the frame buffer.</div>
<div> I think this will benefit many softwares, e.g. VNC, there is no need to write an individual X server, just</div><div> do an extension hooks on Xvfb is OK. </div><div><br></div><div> Does anyone know the reason? is it for security? thank you.</div>
