Same result:

$ glxgears 
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  137 (DRI2)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (DRI2Connect)
  Serial number of failed request:  19
  Current serial number in output stream:  19

Looks like no.

Do I need to configure something in my LTSP conf, or
is DRI just not possible with thin clients?

Well. I googled for that, but I don't see it.


I know I've had glxgears and blender working on thin clients
before -- though maybe not super fast.

I have a feeling there is just something configured incorrectly.

I don't think it could be a particular video card or driver, since
those programs are not working on any of my (8) thin clients
with at least 4 or 5 different video card types.


Thanks for your help.
