Hi Prakash,

I don't have much experience with this myself but I know people who have
done this sort of thing, and from what I understand this is a fairly
common configuration that should be straight-forward. I can't help with
details though.

I do run 3D applications on nx myself using mesa and this works ok, but
is of course pretty slow.
