Re: [VirtualGL-Devel] Fwd: Using VirtualGL with Chrome OS + Crouton

[Joey C. <moo...@gm...>]

You're probably right, although you can get an xserver running in a Crouton
instance and VNC into it via localhost:1, GPU acceleration would be key, so
TurboVNC inside a tab would most likely fit my purposes. Could it be
recompiled for Native Client or HTML5 at large?
