Hi,
Are you sure that your "gear" OpenGl sample uses the hardware client
(i.e.
the PC) ? I'm not.
In fact, Xwin32 don't have glx capability. So you can't use any glx
based
program thougth this protocol, like performer based programs. Moreover,
performer needs to acess the local hardware on which the program is
executed.
So you can't do that way.
"Vizserver" (from sgi) do what you describe.
