Hi Sophia,

This works on my old Mac with macOS 10.9 and XQuartz 2.7.7. However, on a newer 
Mac with macOS 10.12 and XQuartz 2.7.11 ssh forwarding of OpenGL apps doesn't 
work at all for me. Not even the "glxgears" test program works.

The good news is: VirtualGL works really well, using macOS 10.12 as the client 
and a Linux workstation as the server.

mac # /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglconnect linux
linux # vglrun pymol

Cheers,
  Thomas
