Comment 34 for bug 384001

After upgrading to Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 from Hardy remote glx rendering (over ssh or just network) against older servers is not working anymore. This is still a problem in current git (or atleast in current xorg-edgers repo)

I've tested against two X servers, verified from other sources:
X-Win32
Exceed (third party that I can't be 100% on it's validity)
Mac OSX Leopard X11 Server

All of which works fine on the same machine when rebooted into Hardy using older xorg stack

glxinfo outputs:
> name of display: localhost:10.0
> Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

xdpyinfo outputs that i have SGI-GLX and GLX extension.

I suspect that newer glx client side libs must be needing something not provided by the older servers.

I've reported this bug on launchpad "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/384001" where also logs are available about the issue.

Though I'd take it upstream since that bug report seems to be stalled.
