There is nothing to figure out, unfortunately. The design of X11 precludes hardware acceleration; the hardware acceleration you see on a X11 desktop works by using extensions to entirely route around the X11 client-server model. To make it work they'd need to rethink the design. And they did -- that's how we got Wayland.

I wasn't talking about X11, just that capability.
Never heard of Waypipe before, but it was mentioned in a sibling comment, and that might be exactly what I'm looking for.
