Can I integrate data compression into the VcXsrv source code for X11 communication?

I’m exploring the possibility of adding data compression functionality to the VcXsrv X Server to optimize X11 communication over the network. Specifically, I want to compress X11 data before transmission and decompress it upon reception.

My questions are:

  1. Is it feasible to modify the VcXsrv source code to include data compression?
  2. If feasible, what would be the recommended approach or libraries (e.g., zlib, lz4) to achieve this?
  3. Are there any major challenges or limitations I should be aware of when implementing compression in an X11 server like VcXsrv?

I’m looking for advice or guidance from anyone who has worked with VcXsrv or other X11 implementations. Any pointers to relevant parts of the codebase or related projects would also be appreciated.
