Hello, I'm trying to set up VirtualGL in the following configuration with three machines:
- application server (A) - runs the X application and is the X proxy using StarNet FastX. one user per app server. - GPU cluster (G) - hosts the 3D X server and multiple GPUs (one per application server) - client machine (C) - a user's laptop that runs the FastX client. I currently have things working where machines A and G are on the same machine and VirtualGL works, but I can't seem to get things to work when the 3D graphics card and X server are on a different machine. I've tried setting VGL_DISPLAY to the X display for machine G, but I'm getting the error "No protocol specified" when running something like "DISPLAY=machine_G:1 glxinfo" even without VirtualGL. Is this is a model that can work with VirtualGL? My end goal is to set up a virtual computer lab where each user has a dedicated virtual machine with server-side GPU acceleration (in the server room). Each VM guest is hosted by a machine with 4 Nvidia GPUs. I've been unsuccessful using PCI pass-through to make the video cards work in the guest, so I'm trying to see if I can use 3D acceleration with a GPU that is over the network from the X client (application server). End users will use FastX to connect to the VMs that function as the application server. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
