Running an SSH tunneled display to CentOS results in GLX failure

[joey.mukherjee@…]

I am trying to run an OpenGL application from my remote system which is running 64-bit CentOS 5.1+ (fully updated). When I start any GL application, I get the following error messages:

[joey@porky ~]$ glxgears X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Major opcode of failed request: 147 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 22 Current serial number in output stream: 22

Even with indirect rendering:

[joey@porky ~]$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxgears X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Major opcode of failed request: 147 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 21 Current serial number in output stream: 21

I am using v6.5.1 of Mesa on the remote Linux system.

Please try updating mesa to 7.8.2 ... I don't have this problem with my remote ubuntu or gentoo machines running 7.8.2

An X11.bin containing this patch can be found here and installed with 2.5.2:

2.6.0_alpha1 should work as well when it is released.

Hi Jeremy et al,

Thanks for attending to this: this issue plagues me as well. I run leopard on both PPC and intels -

The binary patch above won't go for me on PPC, I'm guessing I have to wait a bit to get one that works for me? Remote openGL to all my linux machines (some pretty up to date) doesn't function. Many thanks,

James Gunning.

Ok, here's one that will work for Leopard: ​http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/testing/X11.bin-PR-423-Leopard.bz2
