This won't work (due to a bug), I can't recall the exact details but
there's an incompatibility between the IRIX & Linux versions of GLX
that prevents apps using OpenGL from being displayed across the
systems.

Though I'll say, even if it worked you probably would discover you
don't want to do this in a Performer application anyways, performance
would suffer greatly (due to network lag) and the rendering would
only be as capable as the client workstation.

Sorry,
Allan
