Hello
I have installed Quartz on my Mac. I use it to run graphics from remote linux machine. So far Xeyes, edit… seem to work but when I run VMD, that requires OpenGL it failes with “Unable to create OpenGL window”
I guess I may need to change some settings? Could anyone advise please?
This was covered extensively on the mailing list back in May. XQuartz
2.7.9 ships with OpenGL disabled by default and with no easy way to enable
it. (Except by editing one of the startup scripts)
Bug 96260
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96260>
covers this. This bug should be fixed in the latest 2.7.10 release
candidates, and an attachment to Bug 96260 also contains a patch that can
be applied to XQuartz 2.7.9 that will allow you to re-enable OpenGL
support in 2.7.9 by giving the
defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true
command after the patch has been applied.
