Have to admit I only skimmed the thread. Sorry, got a bit carried away by my excitement about X.
tl;dr:
Yes, tigervnc/xvnc should work better than x11vnc. 3D acceleration when needed can be accomplished via VirtualGL. (needs an xserver running with drivers for the card(s) though) x11vnc is simpler to set up, especially in regards to 3D accelerated apps. xvnc has more overhead because you basically run another xsession when needed with it's own window manager etc. but on any just somewhat recent computer this shouldn't really matter. You will probably not get very satisfying results without the HDMI port with stuff that does a lot of screen updates (videos, tons of scrolling etc.) Sadly, I doubt there is any good solution to that with VNC. xvnc allows to limit the framerate. Setting it to 30 or below might make things work better. Or not.
Surprised about hextile compression giving bad results, it's pretty much necessary for me in order to stream games in-network.
Gonna look into that modified bVNC and the chat about it. Thanks!
