thanks, Zeke
I use SSH
Secure Shell to make the connection, and before I have used xmanager(I was told xmanager can do OpenGL rendering on my local machine, the protocol I used in xmanager is also ssh), maybe the protocol is incorrect?
does OpenGL have any hardware requirment? I'm wondering whether the poor video card on cluster lead to this problem.
thanks again
