Re: [VirtualGL-Users] Problem with Virtualgl + Xpra

Popping the stack on this. Xpra does work fine with VGL using the pre-built packages at the link below. The pre-built packages don't seem to support any encoding other than PNG or RGB, though, so performance is not great. Would be nice to test the JPEG and x264 encoding abilities without reb

Hello, Your setup, from what you're describing, is OK. You have the 3D X server set up correctly, and then the 2D X server (be it TurboVNC or Xpra) that doesn't provide the GLX extension. It's all expected - please take a look at VirtualGL's documentation, specifically the bits about a X proxy.

Hi, Arthur Huillet, I meet a problem seems very strange. Can you help me to check? I really don't know how to solve it. (by the way, is there any xpra user forum to discuss how to use and solve the problems of xpra?). *I installed nvidia driver on Fedora 17. I think the installation is successful

thanks DRC and Arthur Huillet :) I am a freshman in this area, your advice are very valuable for me. I think i will try TurborVNC with different image quality and Xpra in TCP mode. 2013/4/25 Arthur Huillet > On Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:08:45 -0500 > DRC wrote: > > > In my case, I built > > xpra on

thanks guys. firstly, i am sure Xpra (with Xdummy) works correctly for normal applications like firefox. Then, i also make sure virtualgl works correctly. I use glxspheres to test virtualgl and the frame rate has been greatly increased by using vglrun. I think virtualgl+xpra can perfectly work for

Well, I actually tried to get xpra up and running. No luck. It seems to be a somewhat unpolished solution. The X proxy we support is TurboVNC, so I would suggest that as an alternative. On 4/20/13 9:32 PM, Yusen Li wrote: > I use Xpra to run applications remotely and it works fine for 2D > a
