Xgl over LTSP?

make · 03-12-2007, 11:40 AM

Been googling about this for some time, but can't really find an answer. Is it possible to run Xgl/AIGLX instead of the typical X.org/XFree86 over network?

Would like some of my LTSP thin client computers to get a cool 3D-desktop. The newer computers even have a video card capable of it (mostly Intel 3D-chipsets that work with AIGLX and open source drivers).

I'd imagine this would be Kernel specific. Whichever kernel BOOTP/DHCP is serving would just need to be XGL aware for this to work. Probably a custom job to say the least.

Sorry, forgot to include, if you're doing X across VNC or remote X11, this'll never work as your clients are just doing screen updates. If the X server is local to the client it'd probably work.

I suppose there is no such solution available? I'd need to compile my own kernel.

By remote X11, do you mean the X -query host :screen mode? Because this is how I am using it.
