Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-7.el7.x86_64
Reflection X Advantage server version 5.0.906

How reproducible:
100% when using Reflection X

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure to use XDMCP (see additional info)
2. Attempt to connect using Reflection X server
3.

Actual results:
- remote session flashes between grey Xorg background and a nondescript graphical error
- Have been able to successfully connect using Xorg from another RHEL 7 system

Expected results:
- Successful connection presented with Gnome Greeter

Additional info:
Configuration:
# GDM configuration storage

Firewall has been verified not to be the issue
Confirmed that Reflection X is using GLX extension

Seems to be an issue with GLX based on the following logs:

Suspect Gnome-session failure:
There is no GLX protocol being sent to Reflection X.  The gnome-session-is-accelerated doesn't find the Composite extension and quits before it starts snooping for the GLX extension or anything about the OpenGL renderer.

gnome-shell 3.8 (such as shipped in RHEL-7) and later not longer support a 2d fallback mode. Since gnome-shell is a compositing window manager it needs not just glx but a working composite extension.

The problem seems to be that Reflection X Advantage server does not implement the composite extension. The only way I see to fix this issue is for the Reflection X Advantage server to implement the composite extension.
