Note that the rendering is done on the display server so it needs to
have the graphics capability, you can't put a 2D X server there and
expect the images to be displayed after rendering on the Octane, that's
not how GLX works.
Cheers,Angus.

Our customer has asked us to replicate the display at a remote site over a T1 link (1.5Mbps) at a reduced frame rate. They would like 10 fps if possible. I can think of several ways to do this although the T1 link seems to be a severe limit.
