X11 forwarding not working with exceed client
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- Open Text Exceed 14
- Microsoft Windows operating systems
Issue
- Cannot forward X11 applications to the Exceed client
Resolution
- Use an alternative Microsoft Windows compatible X client that supports OpenGL
- Red Hat does not have any specific recommendations for Microsoft Windows compatible software
Root Cause
- Per page 235 of the Open Text Exceed manual:
"If your system's libGL.so lib is provided by Mesa 7.1 or later, OpenGL applications will not run remotely. ex 'Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig'"
