     Looks as though in the Extreme3D product one is mainly paying for
     the OpenGL implementation -- the X server is included "free." 
     The company does claim it's an SGI-certified OpenGL and includes GLX.
     I also presume that the drivers for the chips on the supported list
     are hardware accelerated for 3D, at least that claim is made.
     Has any of that acceleration been donated back to XFree86 yet?
