If you are using ssh -X and no device in the Eq config file, you are using your local GPU on the Mac. X11.app exposes all GPU's as a single screen, hence it is not possible to address individual GPU's on the Mac when using X11 (AGL is a different story). I suggest using a config with two sources on the remote machine and the destination on you local Mac, as described in my last email. This is similar to VNC, though with a less efficient compression but with better frame synchronization. > Efficiency in this case is not a concern.

Also some VNC servers do not support glX/OpenGL.
