Xorg - 100% CPU usage with indirect rendering and some other Questions.

[Lyssa Rabies]

Hello,

i'm a real fan of X11 and its network transparency. I make heavy use of
this feature, but i got in some trouble. Let me tell a little bit about my
system.

I have jailed some services inside Linux Containers(LXC), so i can simulate
upgrades, move containers to other hosts, to improve security and try out
new software in a safe environment.

I'm using different versions of a desktop environment, so i can get a
closer look what would be new and what could make troubles. I also can
migrate back to a working desktop environment in under one minute if
something should go really wrong. All i use for this functionality is LXC
and Xorg. Another cool thing is, i can use a multi-monitor Setup, without
troubles.

And now, lets take a closer look at my problems. Sometimes i need OpenGL
applications, so i use indirect rendering. It is not slow, Xorg just takes
100% of my CPU. IIn this case it's not over a real network, it goes over a
bridge and an ethernet device created by the "veth" modul. And even if I'd
send it over 1Gbit, or 10 Gbit ethernet, it should not use 100% CPU, right?
I would understand if it's damn slow, because of the network
bottleneck.Maybe i should use VirtualGL, but then I'd need to give the
container acces to the hardware? I hope ayone knows a solution. Hmm, are
there some hardware-accelerated web-browsers?

Well, this was problem number one, let's get to problem number two. I need
hardware-acceleration for videos. Is there any way to use VAAPI(used by
this drivers: VDPAU, XVBA(or i'm wrong?)) over the network?

Used Hardware and drivers:
    - NVS 285 with nVidia Legay Driver(173.14.31)
    - nVidia GT 520 with 290.10 Driver

I have tried Xorg 1.11.2.902 and with the legacy driver i have used Xorg
1.10.4. The Distribution is a 64bit Debian Squeeze with some parts from
backports and testing.

kind regards
