its a shot in the dark, but you could try updating the mac with XQuartz, which seems to be much better for X stuff than the default X installation. doing so is a necessity for running freesurfer locally on the mac:
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/MacTksurfer
that page fixes a different issue, but its X related.
also, on the linux machine, make sure the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has
Load "glx"
in the Section "Module"

$ glxgears Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
i am beginning to suspect it as a driver issue.
