Geoffrey McRae 10b32cb883 [common] clipboard: define stream transport
Replace the single 1 MiB clipboard slot with a four-record 256 KiB
window while retaining a 1 MiB logical file-read limit.

Advertise transport capabilities and duplex stream descriptors in the
clipboard status. Make each claim select one data plane for its entire
owner generation so control and payload ordering cannot be mixed.

Bump the clipboard, KVMFR, and Helper mapping versions for the new
wire layouts and shared-memory geometry.

Looking Glass

Looking Glass lets you use a Windows virtual machine from Linux with very low display and input latency. The current recommended setup uses the Looking Glass Indirect Display Driver (IDD) in the Windows guest and the Looking Glass Client on the Linux host.

Start here

The Linux client is currently distributed as source code and must be built before it can be installed. The end-user guide covers the complete process:

  1. Build the Linux client.
  2. Configure shared memory for the virtual machine.
  3. Install the Looking Glass IDD in Windows.
  4. Install and run the client.

See the Looking Glass documentation for the current requirements and setup guide.

Source archives

IMPORTANT

This project contains submodules that must be checked out if building from the git repository! If you are not a developer and just want to compile Looking Glass, please download the source archive from the website instead:

Source code for the documentation can be found in the doc directory.

You may view this locally as HTML by running make html with python3-sphinx and python3-sphinx-rtd-theme installed.
