there is a possibility to run vegastrike INCREDIBLY FAST over the net, even FASTER, if the destination machine has a better graphics card than the source!

use virtualgl !

ok i never believed it that it worked but finally i got seamlessy run vegastrike on my mac!! with ogre window!!

here is how it works: assuming vegastrike is installed on a linux server with vgl, (windows maybe?) ip 192.168.1.102, (this is the server)
and you are in front of 192.168.1.105 (any mac, windows or linux client , this is the client)

1.: install ssh on the client and ssh server on the server.
2.: install virtualgl (http://www.virtualgl.org/) on the server and the client
3.: run xhost+ 192.168.1.105 on the server
4.: run ssh -X 192.168.1.102 on the client this opens a remote shell on the client in the server.
5.: open another terminal on the client and run vglclient
6.: run vglrun ./vegastrike on the remote shell in the client

enjoy!

another option is using vglconnect on the client machine and then start vs with vglrun in the remote console

you can debug applications when you run, for example when using eclipse, vglrun eclipse & from the rempte console. start a normal debugger session from eclipse then and it works. maybe you must compile virtualgl with DEBUG=yes and start with +de but it worked without it on my machine.
