That's too bad anyway, since there's no shared memory etc. I would imagine it would be painfully slow to run 3D applications with any nontrivial texture or sizes or geometry complexities over a remote X connection. Especially if textures are dynamic like they became in some games (say an in-game "TV" etc.). I haven't checked, so maybe I'm well off base here ;) Cheers, Kuba
