Can anybody please help me out here? I installed VirtualGL 2.6.3 on a RHEL8 box, by adding the yum repo (https://virtualgl.org/Downloads/YUM) && yum install virtualgl
(I don't have physical access to the machine right now, because I'm working from home, as do everybody else, but I have access with ssh). Install Nvidia drivers for the Quadro 2000, as according to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4134381 (login needed), looks OK. Configured VirtualGL according to the UG at https://cdn.rawgit.com/VirtualGL/virtualgl/2.6.3/doc/index.html . Chose "Restrict 3D X server access" and "Restrict framebuffer" to vglusers group, added myself and root to the group. BTW, the configuration threw the error rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia is in use by: nvidia_modeset so I did rmmod nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset rmmod nvidia; modprobe nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset before I restarted gdm (init 5), but I guess this is unrelated to my problems, described below. Logout, and proceeds with section 6.2.1 in the UG: "Sanity Check" "log back into the server using SSH" The guide doesn't specify if I should log in as root, or as myself. Nor does it say if I should use ssh -X or not. But whatever I try, when I run xauth merge /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key I get the error "No such file". Quite reasonable, as there is no such file. I guess that the script /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglgenkey should generate this key, but running it gets me nowhere, as it seems to depend on me having a $DISPLAY. The only $DISPLAY I can manage is whatever I get with ssh -X, and I'm pretty sure that is not what is intended here. Similarly, both xdpyinfo -display :0 /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxinfo -display :0 -c results in unable to open display ":0". Any suggestions on how to proceed is appreciated!
