[Chimera-users] Problem of Launching Chimera Remotely on a Mac

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Andy,

  Your error message means the two machines you are using cannot remotely display OpenGL using X windows because of incompatible graphics drivers.  It has nothing to do with Chimera.  Specifically the error says the NV-GLX (nvidia glx) extension is missing on the server.  X windows remote display is a nearly dead technology, poorly supported, only in rare cases does the OpenGL work.  Why are you trying to do this instead of using a modern desktop sharing protocol?

	Tom
