Correct, no GL over the network. The purpose of VirtualGL is to redirect messages that would normally go to the clients gpu to the server's gpu to be rendered, with the final rendered image being sent to the client for display. This is supposed to make things like googleearth and compiz work in remote X sessions. This would be a great thing for some of us, but I'm not technical enough to make it work in ltsp (or to even know if it's applicable to ltsp). There's no mention at all of ltsp on virtualgl.org. I had a look through their documentation but it's over my head. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
