Hi VirtualGL,

I am using virtualGL since some years now to get 3d-accelerated remote 
visualization possible via TurboVNC on our frond-nodes of a compute-cluster via.
Just recently I was asked why remote 3d-accelerated desktop scenario is not 
possible with multiple 3d-accelerated X-servers+VNC, each dedicated to a single 
user?

I cannot answer this question as I would like to, as it seems to run fine:
We tested to run multiple 3d-accelerated X-servers on the same machine with a 
single GPU without any problems.
glxgears showed 600 frames per second on both at the same time -> both X-server 
where 3d-accelerated.

Why shouldn´t I go for multiple 3D-X-server (one for each user)
and send its framebuffer via VNC to the workstations
instead of using VirtualGL?

Best,
Jens Henrik
