I am attempting to run a program that uses OpenGL to render a model in a viewport through VNC unsuccessfully.
The error message I receive is - Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
It was my understanding that VNC can be configured to render all graphics remotely and send a compressed screen grab from the display buffer to the local client. This would seem to negate the need for GLX extensions on the local client. Can VNC be configured this way and could you briefly describe how?
Remote host:
vncserver on RHEL 5
Local client:
UltraVNC on Windows XP
