Hi,

I'm trying to run a remote X application with accelerated graphics,
but this doesn't seem to work:

$ ssh -Y 192.168.1.2 glxgears
libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
28 frames in 5.1 seconds =  5.458 FPS

$ ssh -Y 192.168.1.2 glxinfo | grep Accelerated
libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
    Accelerated: no

The gears show up, but the frame rate is very low and CPU usage of the
X server process spikes.

When running the same command on the X server locally, things work fine:

$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
246 frames in 5.0 seconds = 49.144 FPS

$ glxinfo | grep Accelerated
    Accelerated: yes

Do I understand correctly that AIGLX should use the graphics card of
the machine that is running the X server (i.e. the one that has the
monitor connected to it)? Does this need to be configured somehow?

Thanks

Max
