Ah, then I guess that is the cause of the problem. I don't see any 'Ps' in the output of that command. Which is strange, for I showed the output of glxinfo in the Xorg IRC channel and been told that the card/driver supports pbuffers. Definitely I have 3D acceleration up and running. Telling vglrun which display to attach to doesn't make much of a difference, on display :0 it gives me the warnings and the error messages below. On display :1 (the one the VNC server is using) it complains (understandably now that I think about it) that 'GLX is missing'. >> When I try /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglrun glxgears I obtain: >> >> [VGL] WARNING: VirtualGL attempted and failed to obtain a Pbuffer-enabled >> [VGL] 24-bit visual on the 3D X server :0.
