I am running Server 2008 R2 SP1 with the Hyper-V role (with supporting 
RemoteFX role services... more info here: 
http://www.petri.co.il/configuring-remotefx-hyper-v-r2-sp1.htm).  I then 
have a Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 guest Virtual Machine that was configured 
with the RemoteFX 3D Video Adapter.

By the way, the Windows client that I was referring too isn't running on 
the same server as the VM.  It is running from a HP t5735 thin client 
that was rebuilt with a custom (test) image of Windows 7 Embedded 
Standard with SP1.  This includes the new RDP 7.1 client that has 
RemoteFX support built in.  The thin client hardware (1 GHz AMD Sempron) 
should be roughly similar to the test machine I have (1.66 GHz dual-core 
Atom D510).  The test machine is running Ubuntu 10.04 and xfreerdp 
(compiled from master) and seems slower than the thin client (running 
mstsc.exe) when connecting to the same RemoteFX VM.  From a pure 
hardware perspective, I would have expected the Atom to be a little 
faster since it is a dual-core and substantially higher clock speed 
(even though it is an in-order arch CPU).  I think this means there is 
room for further optimization of the RemoteFX code in FreeRDP.  Or... is 
the Windows client offloading some of the RemoteFX code to the video 
card somehow?
