Whatever you display on your workstation monitor has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
to do with the video card in your server. There is no connection at
all. You could even take the video card out of your server, and your
workstation wouldn't know the difference.
If you are looking to improve the 3d performance on your workstation,
you could try enabling glx in lts.conf:
X4_MODULE_01 = glx
Although I suspect you still won't get max performance that way.
Ultimately, what you'll need to do is run google earth as a local app.
This is something that is going to be an awful lot easier with LTSP-5.
