[FreeNX-kNX] Forcing the graphical applications to use the server-side graphics abilities

[Prakash Velayutham]

Hi Mario,

I got the VirtualGL thingy to work now and my 3D performance is much  
better. Actually, for numbers sake, here is a small sample.

Matlab 2009a bench would give 13.xxx value for 3D benchmark, and now  
with VirtualGL I get about 1.xxx.

Thanks,
Prakash
