[...] Which is why I was hoping for an SDL VNC backend, so I can just
run ARAnyM in the background and connect to it using VNC possibly
over SSH. Maybe that would get the keys right…?
How’s the status of integrating your backend into SDL 1.2 “proper”?
(Since SDL 2.0 is brand-new no applications are using it yet, so
that’s future music.)
Would integrating the patch as-is (it’s from 2010 AFAICT!) into
distro packaging of SDL 1.2 break anything (if the VNC backend
is not selected)? If not I’d probably try to get it into Debian
or, if must be, roll my own packages. (Best would be if it could
just be installed as a plugin that SDL loads when prompted, but
I have no idea whether that’s possible.)
