Hmm...Wierd. I tried running without vglrun, and did get the same results. However, as you suggested I ran xdpyinfo, and found that the extension IS supported...
I also read my error more closely, and found that it looks like its failing with error "not local" -- which is true...Is there some X voodoo I could do to make the local x server not care that its not local? --Jim On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 3:40 PM, DRC <dcomman...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Yeah LTSP uses XDMCP, which is a special case for VirtualGL.
