After much scouring, this appears to be a problem with XQuartz. I spoke to someone on the XQuartz team and they are basically on life-support. It looks like support for this may be going down the toilet, and migration to an entirely new architecture is needed. I am not the only person experiencing problems with GLX either, which apparently qdec and other freesurfer applications depends on via SSH.
For now I will look into a work around, VNC/RDP or something of the sort.
Just to keep you up to date, here is the discussion: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93953#c6

Running a Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 With ATI Radeon Graphics card, and XQuartz v 2.7.9
I am able to run Qdec and freeview perfectly fine on my machine. The problem comes when I attempt to SSH into another machine and use these programs (it used to work fine, but I am wondering if something in our configuration has changed now)
I get the following errors
[belen@picasso:~] freeview Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2 Extension: 150 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 3 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x0 Abort (core dumped)
[belen@picasso:~] qdec Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 150 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 1504 Current serial number in output stream: 1505
Based on my limited knowledge, It seems likely to be a problem with X / SSH, and the graphics card, but I am unsure on how to proceed from here. If anyone has any ideas on how to overcome this, I would be incredibly grateful.
The server machine itself also has a monitor, and can run Qdec and Freeview fine locally, with no problems. the issue seems to happen over SSH
