hi, i am currently looking for an alternative for a tablet pc and i was wondering if there's a way to set up a wireless display under linux? and if you could recommend a display and adapter or a manufacturer that'd be much appreciated too?!
looking for a dumb display or monitor without any functionality besides being a wireless display. maybe 8" diagonal (16:9 or 16:10) and it doesn't even need a battery (in fact i'd prefer if it was wall power only).

thanks for reading!

There's some lag, though. Not sure if that's my old TV or the protocol, but it's mainly good for streaming videos.

I'm afraid it's either GNOME Network Displays or missing hardware acceleration on Linux, because streaming from Windows on the same TV does not have the lag I experienced with Linux :/

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
