Hi all,
There seems to be an issue with XQuartz 2.7.9 on OS X when trying to render an OpenGL window (e.g. Coot, PyMOL, Phenix GLViewer) over SSH using X forwarding (i.e. ssh -Y). You will get an error that looks like
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
It seems like indirect rendering of a GLX context does not work properly on 2.7.9. Downgrading to XQuartz 2.7.8 works for me.
