[Chimera-users] How to launch chimera in a remote server

[Sun Yeping]

Dear everyone,

Chimera is installed in a remote CentOS 7 server, and it works properly if
working directly on the server. However, when I login to that server from
my local machine (also centos 7 system) wish ssh and try to launch chimera,
an error information window appears which reads:

  "Display misconfiguration. Please Increase the color quality (24 bit
color or greater), update your display (graphics) driver, and/or upgrade
your graphics card. Also see chimera Installation Instructions"

I googled this error and find that someone solve it by installing
virtualGL, so I also installed virtualGL and try to launch chimera with:
        $vglrun chimera
But get the following errorL
# vglrun chimera
[VGL] WARNING: The OpenGL rendering context obtained on X display
[VGL]    :0 is indirect, which may cause performance to suffer.
[VGL]    If :0 is a local X display, then the framebuffer device
[VGL]    permissions may be set incorrectly.

Do you know what the error is about and how to solve it?

Thanks in advacnce
