One other thing to try. Use telnet instead of ssh to see if ssh is interfering...

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

My OS is SUSE 10.0, not 9. I opened the yast for the graphics card, and found the "Activate 3D acceleration" is marked but grey and un-changeable. Then I typed the command as you suggested: liu@linux:~> xdpyinfo | egrep GLX GLX SGI-GLX

I also can run 3D game like TuxRacer smoothly, which was very slow before I installed the ATI driver.

Do all the information above indicate the OpenGL X-extension is loaded on my machine? Any other suggesions?

Thank you!

You have to make sure the X server (on the sles box) has got the OpenGL X-extension loaded. Just because the RPM is there doesn't mean it's configured..... I don;t have sles9, but go through yast and bring up the graphics card and make sure "Activate 3D Acceleration" is on.... Also another way to verify is like so:

xdpyinfo | egrep GLX

GLX SGI-GLX

You should see GLX....

Good Luck...

I want to open a graphical program on SGI Fuel Workstation with IRIX6.4 installed. I can open simple graphical program like "xterm", but I can't open the molecular package program like "InsightII". The error message is related to "app_init_display". Please see below for details:
