I often use X11 forwarding (occasionally VNC) to work on a remote machine, and this has worked great. But now I need to run a program that uses a specific version of OpenGL that means it doesn't work on OSX. I don't have root access to the remote headless machine, so I don't think I can use VirtualGL.I have tried using Xvfb (and then x11vnc) but despite it saying the GLX extension is loaded when i run it. When I come to run any program that uses OpenGL, I get an error saying the display doesn't support GLX extension.Is there any hope for getting this (mess of) software to to work together without having root access?
Run OpenGl program on remote server
x11;remote;opengl;xvfb
