I am trying to configure Xubuntu 14.04 to allow for RealVNC (5.3.2) connections with Nvidia extensions in X. My main reason for doing this, is that whenever I start VMware Workstation 11.1.2 (in a VNC Display session) I get notifications how 3D Acceleration or 3D capabilities from the host are not supported.
However, I am running into problems and am not entirely sure it is possible. I would e-mail RealVNC support, but I feel bad because I have been e-mailing them about a lot of issues lately, and was hoping to try to find an alternative way of looking into it. I did some research on google, and forums, but didn't really come across anything specific.
What I have done:
I installed nvidia-current package
Tried whitelisting in ~/.vmware/preferences
Tried configuring nvidia-xconfig with flags that allow for damange, randr, etc.
I am not sure of any way to tell if the nvidia driver is actually in use or not, which is a little challenging.
glxinfo reports:
@server:~$ glxinfo -display :0
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: unable to open display :0
@server:~$ glxinfo -display :1
name of display: :1
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":1".
Now, I have an X server running on :0 (I have xinit, and it should be running correctly).
@server:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
