Application Problem: InsightII
Hi I have an molecular modelling application developed by Accelrys called insightII which runs on an SGI. I would like to view it remotely on a PC using the X Windows System. I have tested it using eXceed 3D (MS Windows remote X Windows package) and it seems to function properly but when I use either cygwin or Redhat Linux it gives me an error "Couldn't get initial visual in app_init_display" where app_init_display is an application function. >From what I can see it uses Opengl and the glx libraries but the application might also require Motif. My questions are: 1. If the XFree86 module is loaded does this mean that glx is also loaded? 2. Is the Motif environment emulated? 3. What are the strategies to get to the nub of the problem? Regards Uli

It can be found in some X-servers on the linux-end, most often distributed by those who made the graphics card. |> 2. Is the Motif environment emulated? Nope, it is the application end (the x-client end) that does the motifing. Nothing needed at the server. |> 3. What are the strategies to get to the nub of the problem? You implement the glx module on cygwin?? :-) Basically the people who knows what to do about this is probably working on other stuff they think are more important, getting X working :-) /Andy p.s. probably good news for you, I am not 110% sure of this, but I think I have the nose in the correct direction.. :-) -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty!
