I had hoped initially that I could resolve this problem with a little poking around but family matters now make it improbable. Sorry. Here's where I got to: I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 (P4/2.66GHz, 1GB RAM) with an NVidia GEForce FX 5200 display card in it running WindowsXP for a variety of purposes. Sure it's older technology than you're running, but I figured it was a useful starting point. Because I thought I was going to make changes to the drivers and configuration in the process of sorting this problem, I installed PCLinuxOS LXDE 2011.06 on a spare partition rather than just booting the LiveCD. Once it was up, I ssh'ed to another box running an installed emc/ubuntu 10.04LTS. Just in the way you described, PCLinuxOS failed to run glxgears, glxinfo, or emc/Axis remotely. For grins, I booted the LiveCD of Ubuntu 10.04LTS (non-RT) on the Dell. It succeeding in running all the above applications remotely. Even a LiveCD of Fedora 12 that I had at hand succeeded in running glxinfo and glxgears remotely. It failed with emc/Axis, apparently because of a missing font, not exactly a deal-breaker. PCLinuxOS turns out to do things just enough differently that I couldn't immediately see how to resolve the difficulty by comparison to Ubuntu. YMMV. Were this my problem, at this point I'd dump* PCLinuxOS and install Ubuntu on your monitoring machine. I'd rather devote what time I have available to making things, but that's just me. Good luck.
