Yes. If the server crashes then the system resets if your server and client
are the same you get logged out because the display manager resets the 
server after the crash. Tom's examples do this to my most up to date
PEX-SI as well. Some stuff he uses just isn't supported, others have
bugs I am trying to track (got interrupted by a bunch of other pressing
stuff).

This is a software Sample implementation. Basically just a proof of concept. 
No optimization. For 3D if you eant/need performance you gotta get silicon.

Can't comment on the rest...
