Not sure how well TuxRacer will run on remoteX or via VNC, because
TuxRacer requires an OpenGL-capable video card. If, for example, I try
to run TuxRacer on my P3/450 with a plain old ATI Xpert98 card it draws
about one frame a second, or maybe half that. But a GEforce2 card on a
K6-2/400 (with nvidia's drivers) it screams. But I must admit I've
never tried it via remote X or VNC, so maybe I'm all wet.
