Details

Steps to reproduce:

  • start a virtual x session under linux (here using NoMachine)
  • use a dedicated gpu (here Tesla M60)
  • use virtualgl 3.1

scenario 1)

  • switch host console to graphical display, e.g. tty7
  • run "vglrun glxtest" in the virtual x session
  • run "vglrun glxinfo -B" in the virtual x session

scenario 2)

  • switch host console to text output, e.g. tty1
  • run "vglrun glxtest" in the virtual x session
  • run "vglrun glxinfo -B" in the virtual x session

Actual results:

scenario 1)
gpu detected by glxtest and glxinfo

scenario 2)
not output from glxtest, exit code 1 but gpu detected by glxinfo

Expected results:

gpt is recognized regardless of the console session

Martin, are you able to investigate and figure out where things are going wrong in glxtest?

It depends. I could compile glxtest and add some debug output. Can you tell me the current source?
