Hi, folks,

If there's a howto or FAQ on this, please give me a pointer.

We've recently install pymol on several systems. We're running CentOS 6.3,
and the yum installed pymos is 1.3.3.20100705svn3911

ssh -Y into other workstations lets me run it with no problem. However, if
I do the same to a headless server, on which X is *not* running (if that
makes any difference - it is installed), results in
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:  33
  Current serial number in output stream:  36
 PyMOL: abrupt program termination.

When I first log in, glxgears also doesn't run. Having done a lot of
googling, once I execute
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
glxgears runs, albeit slowly and irregularly (faster, slower, etc).
However, pymol still gives me the same errors (and I have read that there
are two of them, the freeglut and the X error.

Any solutions? workarounds?

Thanks in advance.

        mark, sysadmin, not researcher
