Of course you can. That's the all beauty of X11 protocol - client-server
mechanism. Did you forget? And nowadays GL is no exception. Previously
it was as we had the DRI hack but nowadays with AIGLX, XGL and Glucose,
you can stream GL over the network - just a proper driver is needed. For
example nowadays it is no surprise to run Compiz with ltsp and thin clients.
VirtualGL is a different approach, it does not use the graphics adapter
capabilities as all the rendering is done in software on the server.
I personally think that AIGLX is a better approach.
