I wish I did. I have to admit I'm a little confused, as you are the one on
this list that is usually touting aiglx and dri as a solution to the lack of
GL on ltsp thin clients, and now you're asking how to make it work.
Please don't read that as a criticism, because that's not how it's intended.
I'm just feeling a little deflated, because I had hopes of running compiz,
googleearth, etc. on my ltsp network, but if you don't know how to make it
hum then I don't know who would.
Or do you have GL working in other programs such as googleearth, but just
not in compiz? Perhaps if you could write a quick howto on using aiglx to
get 3D accelleration on thin clients then some of your understudies might be
able to provide insight on the compiz problem. I think I'll start another
thread on this so as not to hijack this one.
