<p>While running locally on your computer is best for many reasons,
if you have to run remotely, checkout VirtualGL from
virtualgl.org. It has to be installed on the remote Linux server
and the LInux server needs a graphics card, but it works
surprisingly well. VirtualGL does all of the 3D graphics on the
remote server and replaces the 3D window with a 2D image. Talk to
the administrators of the Linux server about getting VirtualGL
installed.</p>

<div class="">Hi Rayees,</div>

I guess you have X Windows (XQuartz) running on your Mac and are
hoping that X remote display from Linux to the Mac will work with
ChimeraX. Unfortunately X Windows remote display of 3D OpenGL
graphics has not worked reliably since the days Silicon Graphics
computers in the 1990s. It is possible to get it to work between
two Linux machines with identical OpenGL drivers. But it would be
a near miracle if the XQuartz implementation of X Windows on Mac
could handle the OpenGL from a Linux machine.

<div class="">The sensible approach is to run ChimeraX directly on
your MacBook Pro. We don't recommend remote display even when
it works because rendering speed is likely to be poor.<br
