Thanks.Do I then understand it correctly that you answered your own question yourself?:

At least for the java part I got a working solution: http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2010/05/msg00020.html
It still seems to me that the issue you are raising (solved or not) is somewhat related to MIT-SHM: As I understand your reference, Java by default uses OpenGL for rendering but some options can make it instead use XRender.
Only when X11 apps are invoked on same host as the X11 screen(s) can MIT-SHM and DRI be used to speedup graphics rendering.
DRI is required for (most) hardware-accelerated OpenGL.In other words: the main speed-killers for remote X11 execution (e.g. "diskless clients") are
* Use of OpenGL (since it is non-accelerated software emulation) * Heavy use of MIT-SHMWhen I (years ago) maintained a lessdisks network in the ecovillage I lived in, I carefully removed all games and tools using OpenGL.
I might be wrong that the lack of OpenGL acceleration is only due to my machines not having graphics cards with DRI support.
Hope this info is of some use to someone, soemwhere. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
