I will add a note to the INSTALL file.
Can you set the color depth to another bit depth and see what
happens. I bet there is something up with the number of color planes
that is causing the problem.
The error you're getting with respect to GLX infers that you do not
have GL (hardware rendering) capabilities. This may be due to the
fact that OpenGL was not installed on your Sun and thus this option
would not be available.

David,
Thank you very much for pointing to the reference! Actually did I not even
trust calling myself "developer", therefore I was not looking to carefully
into that section. Very nice description covering all that I needed
including the notes on the hdf install. Would probably be a nice idea to
include some of these information into the INSTALL file in the tarball. Mine
was simply "empty". Even a simple link would mean a lot.
As for why you wouldn't be able to view the image, what color depth
is the X server set at? In the ImageWindow, what Colordepth is
selected? Can you change it? Are you trying to render in hardware or
software?
I got XFree 4.1 (xf86-4.1.0-45) on a SuSE 7.3 pro Linux box using Kernel
2.4.17. My graphics board is an ELSA with 8 MB and an Permedia 2 Chip.
The XServer is set to a color depth of 16bit. In the OpenDX Frontend 16 bit
is also checked. I can't change it in the OpenDX gui.
I got two OpenDX installs. One is working just perfect on the local Linux
box. The other is on the SunFire 6800 Ultra-Sparc III. (750/900 Mhz). On the
local OpenDX install I can either render in software or hardware - both work
fine.
On the remote OpenDX install I can't render in hardware (The XServer is still
on my Linux box). If I try I get the error:
ERROR: Image: Display: Operation not implemented: GLX extension not installed
11772: signal 11 caught
Abort
and another windows shows
Connection to server has been broken!
Does this give any more hints? The people from the Computational Center saw
the same effects - but I don't know of their hardware. Is it possible to get
to any conclusion from these information?
