Ok.... I'm trying and it doesn't work. Some details:
Server machine:
OS = fedora 22 with 4.4.13-200.fc22.x86_64
GPU = NVIDIA Corporation GM107GL [Quadro K2200] (rev a2)
VIDEO DRIVER = NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.27
VirtualGL version = 2.5 (64bit)
I followed the guide here http://www.virtualgl.org/Documentation/RHEL6 for
the installation. I have selinux disabled.
Furthermore I used vglserver_config allowing 3d X server and framebuffer
access to all users, disabling XTEST extension
First strange thing: locally on the server machine I have DISPLAY = :1 and
not :0. I don't know if this could be a problem....
Anyway, the sanity check at chapter 6 of the documentation works well if I
use :1 and not :0.
Then, from the client machine (ubuntu 16, with the same version of
VirtualGL) I did:
vglconnect user@vglserver
and then
vglrun -d :1 glxgears and all works well!
However, when I try:
vglrun -d :1 steam
the application doesn't start. After some initial bash messages it seems
that wait for something.....
Another try I did:
>From the server machine I run
vglconnect user@vglserver <--- Same ip used from the client machine!
then
vglrun -d :1 steam
and all works well.... I can play steam games (half life2)
Please give me an help.
Thank you

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports. http://sdm.link/zohomanageengine
