I have a WiDi enabled chipset on my laptop and when I was on Windows, really enjoyed using wireless monitors rather than using a HDMI cable. I've found mentions of MiracleCast, a *nix implementation of Miracast, but development seems to have fizzled out. Has anyone got this working with Fedora? Thoughts on why this technology seems to be lacking in the *nix world? Seems like every TV and even new Dell monitors have this built in so IMHO it's not some fringe feature anymore.
The technology exists, I've seen it demo'ed. Getting it to work requires unusually high levels of expertise with both wpa_supplicant and GNOME (or similar), and I think that lack of critical developer mass has been the real hinderance.
