Event display error

Hello, I’m using root_v6.26.10. It compiled on the Linux server without problem. When I remotely access the server using ssh via my PC (macOS Monterey 12.2) and test the event display, I get the following error, and the display is empty.

cd root/tutorials/eve
root -l arrow.C
root [0]
Processing arrow.C…
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

TGLSAFrame: 6292222
TGCompositeFrame: 6292221

Another test with alice_esd.C also gives empty display.

It looks like a ssh & OpenGL issue. Does glxgears work in your ssh session?

Thanks! glxgears works in my pc, but does not work when I ssh login to the server.
$ glxgears

Try: ssh -X -Y ...
On the remote machine: export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1

If it doesn’t help, see: CMSPublic → OpenGL and X11 problems
