There's no way to render Xlib-based drawing with the render SPU.

See http://vncproxy.sourceforge.net/

The basic idea is to use the XF4VNC module to send your X desktop to a=20
VNC viewer (or the VNC Proxy).  Then, use the Chromium VNC SPU to=20
convert GL rendering into VNC protocol.  Those two sources get sent to=20
the VNC Proxy, which in turn, acts as a VNC server to some number of=20
viewers.  The Proxy basically aggregates two (or more) VNC streams=20
coming from Xlib and GL rendering into one.
