For VDPAU (Lucid) you need some extra sources for fat client. Both DRBL 
and LTSP needs this.

ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa
ppa:rvm/mplayer

With LTSP you can use thin, thin+localapps and fat clients. And you can 
use 64-bit environment in server side and 32-bit environment in chroot. 
LTSP is very flexibility that way.

With DRBL you can't use thin clients or 64-bit environment in server. 
DRBL is just for fat clients and needs 32-bit environment in server.

But after that both gives you same support for heavy GPU based programs.

You can use nouveau, but you really need nvidia driver if you are going 
to play with nvidia/ion based fat clients.

"Any 3D functionality that might exist is still unsupported. Do not ask 
for instructions to try it."

So for fat clients in LTSP I needed these howtos.

In server I did use these extra sources.

ppa:revolution-linux/ppa
ppa:stgraber/ppa
