If you are running ssh -X your DISPLAY is tunneled from the remote to the local machine.
Your $DISPLAY is typically set to localhost:10 on the remote machine.

The 1-pipe configurations do not set the device and therefore $DISPLAY is used, which causes the window to be opened on your local machine. The 2-pipe configurations set the device, and therefore the local display is used (see eq::Pipe::getXDisplayString).

In your case that means that 1-pipe configs display remotely, which is not performant since you are using indirect glX rendering through an encrypted ssh tunnel, which is
magnitudes slower than direct, local rendering.

I am aware of the speed issue. The only reason I'd want it on my home machine (a Mac) is for debugging purposes. My graphic servers are at the office, and I am investigating Equalizer from home (evenings and weekends). So I'd like to test multiGPU configurations from home. Efficiency in this case is not a concern. Correct me if I am mistaken, but I could use VNC to gain efficiency, yet work from home. However, I am having problems getting
VNC to work at this time.

 Cheers,
