Hi
Thank you for the pointers. I got it working with this:
"
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Screen0"
Driver "modesetting"
BusID "PCI:194:0:0"
Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Screen1"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:129:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel_screen"
Device "Screen0"
SubSection "Display"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia_screen"
Device "Screen1"
SubSection "Display"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "default"
Screen "intel_screen" 0 0
Screen "nvidia_screen" Below "intel_screen"
EndSection
"
and
"
export VGL_DISPLAY=:0.1
"
I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with "OutputClass" instead of
"Device" sections but alas, at least it works.
Mvh.

You probably need to configure the X server such that the Intel GPU is on
Screen 0 and the nVidia GPU is on Screen 1. (You can probably make the
nVidia GPU headless, so only the Intel GPU is actually driving a display.)
Then you can set VGL_DISPLAY=:0.1 to use VGL with the nVidia GPU. However,
please note that you cannot log into the local X server (the “3D X server”)
while users are using VirtualGL, as doing so would cause all of VirtualGL’s
GLX back end connections to the 3D X server to hang. VirtualGL’s EGL back
end addresses that problem by avoiding the use of a 3D X server altogether,
but the EGL back end still has some compatibility issues that are being
ironed out. I generally recommend using the EGL back end only if you have
verified that it works properly for the entire suite of 3D applications
that your organization intends to use.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide more specific advice without diagnosing the
specific system, which is a paid service.

Hi
We have using VirtualGL on thin client servers for a while on our HPC
installation and it works well. However, when the OS (RHEL 9.3) / xorg
starts up it disables onboard VGA which also makes IPMI Remote Console
unavailable.
I can get VGA back by doing these changes:
"
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "nvidia"
MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
Option "PrimaryGPU" "no" <--- changed from yes
Option "SLI" "Auto"
Option "BaseMosaic" "on"
EndSection
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "intel"
MatchDriver "i915"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" <---- added this line
EndSection
"
But then VirtualGL stops working. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Reinstalled made no difference.
Mvh.
