Comment # 1 on bug 1077588 from Michal Srb

I think there are two different issues, one you already figured out. When you
run an OpenGL application on a remote machine using ssh with X forwarding, the
application has two options:

* Pack all OpenGL calls into X protocol and send them thru ssh to the other
side. This requires indirect GLX to be enabled in the X server. It is disabled
by default because it is outdated and believed to have security issues. You can
opt-in using the "IndirectGLX" option.

* Render OpenGL on the remote machine using software rendering and send the
resulting images thru X and ssh. The software renderer in mesa is called
"swrast". We have recently restructured Mesa in Tumbleweed. The drivers itself
were split into package called Mesa-dri. If you do not install recommended
packages by default, this Mesa-dri package would not be installed.

Please check if you have Mesa-dri package installed on the Tumbleweed machine
and if not, install it and try again.
