OpenGL on Linux and Insight/Sybyl - any experiences?

[Malcolm Gillies <gillies()at()cmcind.pharm.uu.nl>]

I'm interested in hearing about any experiences using Linux with an
 X server supporting OpenGL/GLX as a remote display for modelling
 programs such as MSI Insight or Tripos Sybyl.
 In particular, I'd like to hear if the following kind of setup is
 workable in practise:
 * Insight running on SGI
 * Linux 2.2.* kernel on x86
 * Nvidia video card (GeForce 256/GeForce 2 GTS/Quadro)
 * Nvidia OpenGL Linux reference drivers and Xfree86
 But I'm also interested in information on other video cards, drivers,
 or the new SGI Visual Workstations (VPro graphics) under Linux.
 If this sort of configuration is practical, then it could be a cheap way
 of expanding a modelling lab with extra workstations for light use by
 students, etc.
 cheers,
 Malcolm
