Harold,
as I wrote before, I AM able to run xterm. Probably I don't know which SGI applications are powered by OpenGL, and there is possibility, some of the apps I cannot run are not these, but it is obvious that standard X11 apps are running and SGI specials (i.e. management utilities started from toolchest) aren't.
