I still cannot imagine that it would run fast enough to make it worth it.

See x11vnc, I have run compiz on a client that does not support Xgl/3D (via_agp) . Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've had this working using x11vnc over an SDSL connection. Working... but not well... very low frame rates, and a maxed out connection. If I dropped the color palate down it got reasonably usable. Couldn't play full screen games though :-) GL screensavers also sort of worked... if you can call 1 or 2 fps working.
