Confirmed that this still affects Ubuntu 10.04 Server, forwarding onto a Mac OS X 10.6 system. However the
% setenv LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT yes work around before running the affected application seems to resolve the problem. Whereas direct rendering means that application can access the GPU hardware directly without communication with the X server first via Mesa, indirect rendering means that the GLX protocol will be used to transmit OpenGL commands and the X server will do the real drawing. Direct rendering is faster as it does not require change of context into X process of course, although in both cases rendering is done on the GPU if acceleration is present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384001 Title: ssh forwarded glx returns "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig" against older servers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
