hi!
i have nvidia card on desktop, that does relly nice 3D hardware
acceleration. on laptop i only have s3 so the acceleration is poor.
im thinking about making x-server on my desktop, that would be used by
x-terminal = laptop.
would i have x-server 3d acceleration on my x-terminal?

When you display on the laptop you will use it's graphics card, regadles if
the x-client is run on the desktop or not.
If I don't recall it wrongly, there has been released drivers for s3 that
should support 3d quite well, think you need to download it from the
manufactors homepage.

so the 3d rendering is done also on x-terminal? i thought it could be
like this that the server does the rendering and sends "rendered
picture" to the terminal.

i use twister chipset. there are drivers but the lastest version is for
x 4.1.0 and using them on 4.3.0 gets unresolved symbols :(

This is how it works on Xfree86 and xorg-fork, Xig had some 3d acceleration
over network support, but ATI and nVidia drivers don't work with it.

Try the 4.1.0 driver, wouldn't surprise me that it would work fine, there
shouldn't been that much change in the driver part of the code of XFree86.
