Hi, I am trying to use a remote program which is installed on a remote linux machine. In these situations I usually do;
0) on my windows machine I start cygwin and afterwards use startxwin.sh 1) ssh -X name-of-the-gateway-machine 2) ssh -X name-of-the-linux-machine-inside-the-remote-network 3) program-name & and programs like emacs or firefox appear on my desktop. But for some other program which uses more advanced graphics it does not work, I get the following error message; [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0" . Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0".

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". moe: WT fatal error: OpenGL: Can't find suitable visual Reading cygwin forums I tried two times ssh -Y instead of ssh -X and now I don't get the previous error message, instead I get; 1) when trying to connect to the first machine; Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. 2) connecting to the second machine and starting the program; Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display "localhost:10.0". The program starts, the main "screen" appears, but the menus don't appear, so I can not use the program. Do you know how could I overcome this situation ?
