[Thinlinc-technical] Rendering OpenGl Applications via ThinLinc Terminal Servers

[Jens Maus]

Thanks for the clarification. I had a quick look at the documentation. As it stands I find it quite overwhelming and no so straight forward regarding how to install it in the context of ThinLinc. I would therefore like to urge the ThinLinc developers to really consider writing a short HowTo in the ThinLinc administration guide with a step-by-step explanation on how to install virtualgl in regards to ThinLinc. This would really greatly improve things regarding the VirtualGL compatibility which ThinLinc is announced to have.

regards,
jens

Cendio needs to link to whatever version or versions you are supporting.  When a new version comes out, then it's up to you to decide whether to support it (and thus update the links on your end) or continue using the old one.
