Description (last modified by )
Dear maintainer,
I have just installed NVIDIA drivers 3.90 on my debian testing installation. Then I have launched xpra (version 2.4.3-r21350M) as usual on the server:
xpra start :100 DISPLAY=:100 xterm&
When I attach to this screen and try to run glxinfo on the attached xterm I get
name of display: :100 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":100".
With the nouveau driver, instead, everything was fine. So it seems that the NVIDIA driver has changed something in the GLX extensions.
I have checked the page about Xdummy and xpra but I was unable to obtain GLX correctly running on displays different than :0.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for the reply. Please, can you give me info on how to use glvnd?
I tried virtualgl <my application> and it works provided there is screen :0 open. Otherwise, it is impossible to use it since it requires an active screen :0.
Thank you for your comprehension and advices.

No, sorry. I don't know enough about it to give any reliable advice.
You can find some pointers here: Server-Side GLVND Updated While X.Org Server 1.20 Drags On (this article is a year old)
You can also ask your distributor and / or the glvnd people.

Don't use this form:
Use this one instead:
Correct.
You need to use glvnd or use virtualgl.
