Good Afternoon,


My mistake, i3 is a window manager (I get them mixed up from time to time 
:) ); LightDM is the display manager. Here is (to my knowledge) the layout 
of the environments:

   - 
   
   Cases 1, 2, 4, and 5 do not work well when used with an i3 desktop (but 
   well for MATE, KDE, etc.).
   - 
   
   Cases 1 and 2 with i3 requires XFree86 to be disabled
   - 
   
   Cases 4 and 5 with i3 requires the VGL_USEXSHM=0 to be used
   - 
   
   Cases 1, 2, and 3 requires the VGL_FORCEALPHA=1 to be used
   - 
   
   Case 4 seemed to work better than Case 5 in performance (increasing the 
   compression core count helped, but was still slower)
   - 
   
   Case 6 works when running vglrun in a terminal, but not when launching 
   the desktop environment with "vglrun +wm" (audio is lost)
   
(Understandably, cases 3 and 6 are not supported like TurboVNC is, but I 
included them for completeness sake)


In no case is the scope going wider than CAN (while there is potential for 
WAN, we are focusing currently on the LAN-CAN performance). 

In all, I am slowly, but surely understanding how Xorg, GLX and SSH all tie 
together. That being said, I appreciate your time helping us out with all 
of this.


Thanks,

   Jason
