IRIX remote display

Hi Scott, I have often used IRIX 6.5 clients on Linux/nvidia X11 servers (and probably the other way round). One special thing is accelerated 3D with OpenGL vs. IrisGL: Newer SGI applications (=clients) use OpenGL, these have worked without a problem. But older SGI applications use IrisGL, the predecessor of OpenGL. When I tried it last a few years ago, these would only say: "server does not support IrisGL" or the like. There's another issue related to nfs networking between Irix and Linux (needs -o proto=tcp or proto=udp or similar, I always forget it and have to look it up...). Without the option, only minimal transfers will work, whereas even a longer directory listing or - certainly - a file transfer beyond a few KB would cause the connection to stall. But I have no indication that anything similar would apply to X11 as well.
