I too had this same error, but I found a workaround. Set the environment
variable 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes' and then try running the program.
Example: -
administra...@artemis:~$ glxinfo
name of display: localhost:11.0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
administra...@artemis:~$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes glxinfo
name of display: localhost:11.0
display: localhost:11 screen: 0
direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
...
...
...
Works both through NX and SSH tunnelling.
