The server graphic card does nothing. For the local graphic card it's not that simple :
I started to explain below, but now I'm not sure to be right. Someone to confirm ? The thin client XServer is powered by the thin client graphic card. But the window manager is not. With a normal 2D window manager, it's the server CPU job to render the windows. With the new 3D window managers, the rendering job "should" (be done by a 3D capable graphic card on the thin client. Now, if you want to do 3D rendering for everything else than the window manager (like openGL Quake or Blender) the rendering should be done by both local video card and server CPU.
