Hi

I get the following errors when trying
to run a 3D GL program over ssh.
To be clear the program is launched on a remote linux server,
and I view the graphical results on a local workstation.

I get identical errors trying to
connect to the remote server from FreeBSD 10.3 (2 different
graphic cards) and from 11-current.

However, I just checked, and it works fine
if I connect to the remote server from MS Windows 7(?)
and use Xming (http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/)
to view remote graphics.

I don't know where to start looking.
Please help

The errors:

The program is TAU paraprof:

What I want to get is visualisation like this:

(This was obtained using MS Windows as X server with Xming(?)).

I tried getting help in this list in April,
and also from X11@ and in questions at .

The sysadmin of the remote linux server tells
me that probably my graphics card or driver are
too old. This probably is not the case.
My 11-current laptop has a Haswell card and I use
 xf86-video-intel-2.21.15_9     x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
video driver.

Perhaps my java is not right?
Or my OpenGL?

Maybe I should ask in yet another list?

Many thanks

Anton
