i finally snagged the librrsunray.so from the rhel package and put it in /usr/lib but i won't be able to test it until i get home on thursday night (i'm away on business for the week). i did try to load the sunray driver from my laptop through ssh, but it of course threw some error. the good news is that when the .so isn't in /usr/lib, vglrun throws a different error stating that it can't find the file, so at least it's looking in the right place.
after doing a little more reading on sunray 1 performance, i'm quite surprised that i'm getting such good framrates as it is. hopefully the accelerated yuv render path will allow me to bump the res to 512x384. getting 640x480 even at 15 or 20 fps would be a dream come true. i'll post an update on friday after i've tinkered with it thursday night.
