Ah sorry - wrong end of the stick... the remote session is running Centos 5 and they are connecting to it from Ubuntu.

At least under Ubuntu 13, they stopped providing any kind of 2D fallback mode for Unity 3D, so it now requires the X Composite extension and 3D acceleration. There is an active effort to make VirtualGL run these 3D-only WMs for that reason, but currently, running a WM in VGL requires another X proxy that supports X Composite, and there are still a lot of known issues. > On Jul 6, 2014, at 5:35 PM, Paul McIntosh <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am just using whatever Ubunutu has as the default.
