Re: [VirtualGL-Users] Maximum number of clients reached

2013-12-05 Thread DRC
VirtualGL only opens one connection to :0 (or the specified 3D X server) the first time XOpenDisplay() is called, and it reuses that same connection for all subsequent 3D operations. Thus, VirtualGL is only 1 client from the 3D X server's point of view. I think Xorg can have a max. of 256.
