You need both VirtualGL and the TurboVNC server on the server machine, as well
as a 3D accelerator on the server. You need only the TurboVNC viewer on the
client machine. Current docs are at VirtualGL.org and TurboVNC.org and are
installed locally on your machine when you install the VirtualGL/TurboVNC
binary packages. Note that there is a known issue with using the Unity window
manager under Ubuntu 14.04 with the TurboVNC server. The pre-release of
TurboVNC 2.0 on TurboVNC.org works around this by setting up the
gnome-flashback session to run in the TurboVNC server session instead. You can
also just use some other (non-compositing) window manager like Xfce.
