It seems that applications which use X more directly can run over SSH X11Forwarding without problems. I've been running NetBeans (a Java IDE) on the N9 with the PC as X server. Terribly slow, but still

But apps using QEgl fail:

Code:
/opt/operamobile-labs $ ./operamobile
Warning: not sure how to check hw keyboard status/

OPERA_DIR not set, assuming "/opt/operamobile-labs"
QEgl::display(): Falling back to EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
QEgl::display(): Can't even open the default display
QEglContext::chooseConfig(): Could not find a suitable EGL configuration
Requested: "type=es2 rgba=0,0,0,0 surface-type=window"
Available:
QGLContext::makeCurrent(): Cannot make invalid context current
QEgl::display(): Falling back to EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
QEgl::display(): Can't even open the default display
QEglContext::chooseConfig(): Could not find a suitable EGL configuration
Requested: "type=es2 rgba=0,0,0,0 surface-type=window"
Available:
Failed to create GL context for window surface, not able to recover
Aborted
I'm trying this on Windows with MobaXterm, but on Mint 12 (in a VM but with OpenGL support) I didn't got any farther. Leaves me wondering whether it actually is possible? And if so, what is required?
