Description of problem:
If remote login is done from RHEL5to RHEL6 with '-y' option and glxinfo command is fired, it gives message "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6
mesa-libGLU-devel-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGL-devel-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGL-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGLU-7.7-2.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. SSH from RHEL5 system to RHEL6 system with X forwarding 'ssh -Y <RHEL6_SYSTEM>'
2. Run command glxinfo
  
Actual results:
glxinfo command gives output
"Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig"
