Right now we appear to have CUDA support working, but it doesn't work with graphical applications. This is because nvidia doesn't support DRI, which kasm_vnc is dependent on.

I think this is fixable, but it's a fair chunk of work. As near as I can tell kasm_vnc will connect to an existing VNC server. They claim to be breaking from the VNC spec for performance reasons, but I don't see anything related to that, I think that's more aspirational than actual. So we'd just need to launch a proper nvidia-accelerated desktop session, with a VNC server.
