[Thinlinc-technical] html5 again

Yes, this works. Depending on the browser and platform, the HTML5 client 
might not be able to provide the same level of framerate as the native 
client. For example, handling of high latency networks is better with the 
native client. But it should work. I just did a quick test with the HTML5 
client against the EU demo system (https://eudemo.thinlinc.com:300/) and 
the Paraview performance was nice I think.

I don't think this has anything to do with the HTML5 client. Likely, you 
will get the same error with the native ThinLinc client. Have you followed 
the instructions on 
http://www.cendio.com/resources/docs/tag/virtualgl.html ? What kind of 
graphics card are you using? Please note that with AMD and Nvidia card you 
typically need to the use proprietary driver.
