My understanding is that DGA is dead, and should never be used. > There are a few systems that break the network transparent model > of X11. DGA is one of them, XVideo another. XVideo works fine over a remote connection. I suspect you're confusing it with Xshm (XVideo includes Xshm extensions). The latter is effectively just a local transport optimization between the client and server, and not something the hardware driver needs to care about. > IIRC early implementations >of DRI/DRM needed the client to be on the same host as the server too >(dunno how it is today). The whole point of DRI is that it avoids going via the X protocol. However applications should never be using DRI directly. Instead they should be using OpenGL/GLX. The OpenGL libraries will then choose whether to use DRI or conventional GLX. In the latter case this should be converted back to DRI calls by the X server itself.
