Once there was a way.......

The sun shared Visualization software made use of local GPU and sent ALP
directly to the sunray.....

I had just found it on the Sun website, got it working in the lab (dead
easy) and was trying to make the business case to add support to our
fog... and sun killed the project :-(

It still appears to be available for download. and (for native Linux or
Solaris sessions either the SRSS server itself or another machine that
onward connected to (ssh -X worked) that could route packets directly to
your sunray.

Now the feature that Virtual-box has where it can pass through to the
local GPU, added to Ubuntu VM, and you could have Google earth on a VDI
solution.... (just dreaming)

Of course that is a nice Unix desktop, not this nasty windows stuff :-)

this might be an interesting solution for the more low end 3d graphics
