I just checked with VNC and software rendering - this scenario works (I
could see the gears of glxgears). I can't check VNC and hardware rendering
till much later today.

If you have a machine with a fairly modern graphics board and KDE running:

glxinfo tells you whether you have software or hardware rendering active:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

The above would tell you it is software. This one is trivial: it works. If
there is a different vendor/renderer then it is probably hardware (at
least if it somehow correlates to your graphics hardware).

glxgears is a nice little demo of OpenGL (comes in some Mesa package).

Now start Desktop Sharing in KDE and connect from a different desktop. If
you still see the gears in VNC then you are fine.
