Description Devin Bougie 2016-02-24 17:23:17 UTC
Description of problem:
In certain cases, we are unable to run OpenGL on a remote RHEL6 system.

How reproducible:

Always, if you start on a system with the proprietary nvidia driver installed and ssh into a system without the nvidia driver.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "ssh -X" from a system with the nvidia driver installed into a RHEL6 system without.
2. run glxinfo, glxgears, etc.

Actual results:
[system-with-nvidiadriver]$ ssh -X rhel6-without-nvidia
[rhel6-without-nvidia]$ glxinfo
name of display: localhost:12.0
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  27
  Current serial number in output stream:  30

Expected results:
[system-without-nvidiadriver]$ ssh -X rhel6-without-nvidia
[rhel6-without-nvidia]$ glxinfo
libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915
