Windows remote desktop uses a special protocol that tries to be
smarter the just making screenshots and transfer them. To do this it starts the
remote session in a special context. Unfortunately this context has limited
support for the use of 3D APIs. The exact behavior depends on the operation
system version. I cannot remember the exact details but IIRC this context doesn’t
provide DirectX 9 devices at all. This might be changed with the last service
pack for Windows 7. -Ralf From:

Behalf Of Mark Callow I have discovered that
web browsers viewed via Windows remote desktop do not support WebGL even
if they are told to ignore the graphics blacklist (or force-webgl-enabled in
Firefox case). I have tried both Chrome and Firefox 4. I am surprised. I
thought rendering for remote desktop was done on the remote system, the image
scaled and the result transmitted to the local system so I expected WebGL to
work. The NVIDIA control panel will not open via remote desktop so I cannot
check the driver version but I am pretty sure it is WebGL capable. The information provided
at get.webgl.org needs to include this little tidbit. Regards
