Hi Tom, I'm very sad to learn about the announced death of X windows remote display after so many years. I have never had problems using OpenGL on remote X windows when communicating between Linux machines. Anyway, IMO remote desktop sharing is not an option with OSX machines : far too slow and very low quality. Unless you know of an option other than the remote desktop service shipped with OSX, which I would be very interested in.

Hi Andy,
Your error message means the two machines you are using cannot remotely display OpenGL using X windows because of incompatible graphics drivers. It has nothing to do with Chimera. Specifically the error says the NV-GLX (nvidia glx) extension is missing on the server. X windows remote display is a nearly dead technology, poorly supported, only in rare cases does the OpenGL work. Why are you trying to do this instead of using a modern desktop sharing protocol?

Dear All,
I am having difficulty to launch Chimera remotely with the following Error message on my Mac. I understand that the current OS X (version 10.8.5) and the latest Xcode has some issues and cannot handle the process ?!
Is there a way out of this ?
Thanks and Best Wishes
Andy
