| Anyone familiar with pymol?
| 
| We're getting an error I find references to from a few years ago when
| we
| try to run remotely on a headless server. I can run it fine on my
| machine
| (CentOS 6.3, NVidia video), and on another person's workstation
| remotely,
| with other make video, but the server's got a Matrox - which
| shouldn't
| matter, since I'm running this after ssh -Y. pymol yum installed
| fine, no
| problems.
| 
| I found, and did a export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, which allowed
| glxgears
| to work, albeit slowly and unevenly, but pymol always gives me
| freeglut (pymol):  ERROR:  Internal error <FBConfig with necessary
| capabilities not found> in function fgOpenWindow
| X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
|   Major opcode of failed request:  4 (X_DestroyWindow)
|   Resource id in failed request:  0x0
|   Serial number of failed request:  24
|   Current serial number in output stream:  27
|  PyMOL: abrupt program termination.
| 
| I read that this is two errors, not one, but other than the
| environment
| variable, can't find any other fix.
| 
| Anyone?

Try running it through TurboVNC  We've used it rather successfully with a boat load of OpenGL software such as Amira.
