Now I have a question (but take it easy one me, as far as I'm concerned X is
just a way to get twenty terminals on the screen at once ;-): when did XF86
start supporting remote OpenGL? Back in the day SGI boxes could export
hardware accelerated displays, but only to other SGI boxes (back in the IrisGL
days, before OpenGL). The last that I knew, no other vendor had implemented
those X extensions. I can see if it's done entirely within software, but
hardware GL?
:-P Shame on me for not reading all of the release notes, eh? ;-)
