Except, of course, that lightdm could not be installed on RHEL8. (I tried reporting it as a bug, but the report was closed as this was apparently expected behavior. Go figure. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1818777 ) > /etc/gdm/Init/Default will not be executed on Wayland-enabled systems, > but VirtualGL 2.6.2 and later works around that known issue by using a > GDM greeter autostart file (specifically, > /usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart/virtualgl.desktop). So the real > question is why the autostart file isn't being executed. We'll never know, as I gave up on RHEL8 and reinstalled the system with RHEL7. I can now get VGL to work, but I must admit I am not impressed, so far. Running glxgears is slow and jerky, it is much smoother to run it simply with ssh -X. Running vglrun glxinfo | egrep '(vendor|version) string' I can see both VirtualGL (1.4) and NVIDIA (390.116) being mentioned, so I guess both the correct hardware and software is involved somehow. I use vglconnect -s to the server. I'll see if I can get better response if I can get this VNC proxy thingy to work. Thanks again for your replies.
