There's an application I want to run that needs GLX. Can I run it
over VNC?
I get errors when I try. If I type glxinfo, I get a bunch of output,
including this error (occuring many times):
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing in display ":1.0".
A google search indicates that some versions of VNC allow glx, others
don't.
(a) How do I tell which version of the vnc server I'm running?
(b) Which versions of VNC out there allow glx?
(c) Can 3D rendering over a VNC connection be done with reasonable
speed, or is it hopeless?
The best shot you can get is the vnc-implementations that use physical
hardware acceleration. The ones that come to mind are the ones that
provide access to the console (e.g. :0.0). I'd go for the vnc-modules
that can be used with Xorg or Xfree86 or such.
With the standard vnc instllation on unix, you get a software driven
X-server (`Xvnc`) that has no hardware to use for acceleration hence all
has to be done in software. Most of them donnot provide any
hardware-acceleration features. The ones that do still do it all in
software.
