Thanks for the information! I see why this step is needed previously. Now I am able to continue and MIT-SHM does appear in the xdpyinfo output.
For the next part, connecting to the VirtualGL server, I tried to use the command: /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglconnect *user*@*server* but vglconnect does not exist in that location. There's no /opt directory to start with. I'm only able to find vglconnect in ./cygdrive/c/Users/username/AppData/Local/Packages/MirrorName/LocalState/rootfs/opt/VirtualGL/bin/. Also running it gives me ./vglconnect: line 111: ./vglclient: cannot execute binary file: Exec > format error > [VGL] ERROR: vglclient failed to execute. Did I install it wrong or is it something else? Thanks in advance! Here is the output when I ran vglcygsetup script: > $ ./vglcygsetup > Fetching setup.ini ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.3.3-20131014.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.3.90-20140717.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.4-20150126.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.4.1-20150612.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.4.90-20151027.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.5-20160215.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.5.1-20161001.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.5.2-20170302.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.5.90-20180425.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.6-20180824.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching x86_64/VirtualGL-2.6.1-20190101.tar.bz2 ... > Fetching Cygwin setup ... > Launching Cygwin setup ... > note: Hand installation over to elevated child process. and I followed the setup window to install VirtualGL.
