Hi all,
I've run into snag with using ssh x-forwarding and GL. I'm trying to run a
program which uses GL remotely. The program runs and the GUI pops up with
sliders and such visible, but the GL part of the gui is not displaying.
everything else with the program is functional. When i start the program from
the prompt i did notice the following error,
libGL error: XF86DRIAuthConnection failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
and on the side that displays the program i see the following error in the
xorg.log file (each line represents each attempt at running the program),
failed to authenticate 8
failed to authenticate 9
I've google'd around and haven't much useful information. i do have write
permissions to /dev/dri. Also local GL programs display just fine, this only
happens with ssh forwarding (i've tried ssh -X and ssh -Y).
Both machines are ubuntu, the display machine is ubuntu 8.10 and the other is
8.04. They both use the stock xorg.conf file, which is pretty minimal, i'm
guessing that's because xorg tried to determine everything at runtime.
If anyone has any hints or suggestions, let me know, thanks.
Thanks,
