Wine on Debian - GLX problems

Post by Drepanon »

Hi,

I'm trying to get some random software to work on my Debian headless server using Wine.
Context: I've been testing the software on a Debian VM hosted by my own PC, and it works fine. I then decided to deploy it to my headless server.
Obviously, since it's headless, I had to go through a software renderer, so I installed libgl1-mesa-swx11.

glxgears runs just fine through VNC, and glxinfo |grep direct returns:

Code: Select all

direct rendering: Yes
Hence, I assume that video drivers are fine.
However, Wine cannot run my software. It keeps throwing errors:

Code: Select all

Xlib: missing GLX extension at display :1
Any ideas ? :(
Thank you very much.

So, just for the detail, are you running glxgears through a VNC session? and you are trying to run your app through a VNC session as well or is your app calling a vnc session from the app and trying to set it all up? More details please.

Hi, and thanks for replying.

Yes, I am running glxgears through a VNC session (tightVNC allows for GLX to be forwarded through VNC, if I understood correctly).
I'm trying to run my app through the same VNC session.
I also tried to create another (virtual) display using xvfb, then to export the display environment variable and to bind my app to it for the sake of testing, but I get the same results.
