Hi,

I wonder if you can give me a hand with the following situation:

My current setting is:

Fedora 4.13.11-200.fc26.x86_64
GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP100GL [Tesla P100 PCIe 12GB] (rev a1)
VirtuGL 2.5.2 from official binaries (RPM)
TurboVNC Server (Xvnc) 64-bit v2.1.2 (build 20170925)

And I have been trying to run Vapor 2.6.0 (https://www.vapor.ucar.edu/) 
with vglrun without success for the last days. I just typed "vglrun 
vaporgui" and I got a segmentation fault. I got our computing support group 
to look into the problem, I tried many times, and it was always 
segmentation fault, before even opening any GUI window.

Yesterday I decided to give it another try, and after looking at the log 
produced with the option +tr, I tried with "vglrun -nodl vaporgui", and 
bingo, Vapor started fine. So I have two questions:

1) what does -nodl imply? For example, will some GL calls handled in 
software or something similar so performance will be worse?

2) before starting to write this mail, I decided to try again, and to my 
surprise, I can now start vapor, with and without the -nodl option. Does 
VirtualGL keep some type of cache/config files somewhere? (otherwise I 
cannot understand why I got so many segfaults before and now it works (no 
configuration has been changed in the machine, no reboots, ....)

Many thanks,
AdV
