Some details from my bug report - glxgears does not work because the GLX extension is not present: xdpyinfo | grep GLX.

The GLX extension seems to have been lost because of non VNC-related changes in Xorg, here is the fix in the tigervnc trunk:
http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/trunk/unix/xserver/hw/vnc/xvnc.cc?r1=5047&r2=5067

K.O.

Hi, the re-enabling of GLX inside tigervnc-server-module kills the X server when VNC clients connected to display :0 exit their session. In all cases, the backtrace looks like this:

Regression time again:

In the latest rpms, the GLX extension does not function properly.
This is on a fully updated RHEL6.6 host.

Set of RPMS with the issue:
tigervnc-server-module-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64
tigervnc-server-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64
tigervnc-debuginfo-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64
tigervnc-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64
tigervnc-server-applet-1.1.0-16.el6.noarch

When starting Xvnc, the GLX extension is show as being initizalized:

 ./bin/Xvnc.1.1.0.el6.6 :5 -desktop thorbardin:5 -auth /export/home/raistlin/.Xauthority -geometry 1600x1200 -depth 24 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /export/home/raistlin/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5905 -noreset

Workaround: install tigervnc 1.3.1 from tigervnc.org (but it has its own share of issues). :(

Please report this as a regression.
Thank you,

Vincent

Works for me with tigervnc-{,server-}1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64 and xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-22.el6.x86_64.

However, I have seen another report of GLX failing under Xvnc in RHEL-6.6. Investigation continues.

Hi Tim,
I've opened case #01310701 with RedHat support about this.
This is on a box with the proprietary NVidia drivers.
In their investigation, Tigervnc people found that the 1.4 binary (which shared the same kind of issue/symptoms on el6.6) didn't link a library: libglapi.

The 1.3.1 binary that now works for me under el6.6 is linked with libGL only, though:

# ldd /usr/bin/Xvnc|grep libGL
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so.1 (0x0000003c15200000)

Please let me know if you need further information either through the support case or through this BZ (should be cloned or re-opened, I think).
Thanks,

Vincent S. Cojot
