VGL_DISPLAY and DISPLAY should never be the same. I have no idea how you were able to make anything work with VGL_DISPLAY=:1. VGL_DISPLAY points to the display where the 3D accelerator is attached, which is usually :0 (but not always.) DISPLAY points to the 2D X Server, or the X server where the final, rendered 3D images are to be sent. > Also if I change the BusID it complains about the issue with the > vga compatible display. > > However if I leave it to be :0 then it is: > Also I noticed that the NVIDIA is not listed as the 'VGA compatible' card.. > But as the 3D controller. > > lspci -vvv | egrep -i "3D controller|nvidia|VGA comp" > > 01:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev > 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) > 06:00.0 3D controller: nVidia Corporation GF100 [Tesla M2070Q] (rev a3) > Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device 087f > Kernel driver in use: nvidia > Kernel modules: nvidia, nouveau Try following the procedure found here: http://www.virtualgl.org/Documentation/RHEL6 to disable nouveau.

It's just a GPU. You can't actually display anything on it per se, but VirtualGL can use it for 3D rendering, because VirtualGL renders everything in off-screen PBuffers. However, there needs to be an X server attached to the Tesla card and running, so that's Job 1. > On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 5:27 PM, DRC <dcomman...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: >> The -d option to vglrun doesn't do what you think it does.
