Dear Chen,

"coot via ssh -X" works for me, even in Stereo, over Gb-ethernet, between 
computers that run CentOS7.6 (same as SL7.6 and RHEL7.6) and have Nvidia 
graphics. Our coot is the version 0.8.9.2 that comes with CCP4. The Nvidia 
graphics driver that we use is kmod-nvidia from the ElRepo repository. I 
remember that sometimes kmod-nvidia and the kernel are out of sync. In this 
case one sees lines in /var/log/messages like 
kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 430.14, but this kernel 
module has the version 418.56.  Please make sure that this kernel module and 
all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.
Unfortunately /var/log/messages is not readable by the ordinary user. But I 
think similar or even identical lines are visible for the normal user, by just
dmesg | grep -i nvidia
If there is a mismatch, the administrator must fix it and reboot.

To narrow down the problem:
a) can you state what your client's, and what the server's operating system is? 
On Linux, this is given by 'uname -a'
b) can you check "dmesg|grep -i nvidia" on both the server and the client?
c) do you use "ssh -X" ?
d) has "coot via ssh" worked for you earlier, and if so, what changed? The 
version of coot?

My guess is that a Nvidia/kernel mismatch is the culprit, if it earlier worked 
for you.

HTH,
Kay
