Re: libGL in X11 on MacOS X allow forwarding?

    Can anyone clarify this for me? The person packaging ccpnmr for fink
seems to believe that the MacOS X libGL doesn't allow for X11 forwarding
because it does system calls to aqua. I suspect this is only correct for
the system framework version of GL and not for libGL.dylib in /usr/X11R6/lib.
Any clarifications would be most appreciated.

From my own observation I would say it doesn't work. Trying to run glxgears over a forwarded X11 connection, I see that it opens a window but doesn't display anything inside and gives the message

  failed to bind to surface

An explanation could be that /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib is linked to the GL framework.
