[NTLUG:Discuss] half way off topic - SGI server and Linux client graphical library problem

[Fred James]

Server OS: IRIX 6.4
Client OS: RH Linux 7.1
Situation [Note: IP addresses masked as x.x.x.x]:
(1) X server is working (i.e., xclock, winterm, and toolchest, all 
work), although I get some complaints about certain colors and fonts.
(2) Attempt to run gr_osview (dynamic graphical view of resource usage 
on the server) returns the following 2 error lines:
     (a) dgl error (protocol): remote machine not DGL capable - x.x.x.x:0.0
     (b) dgl error (default init): default dglopen(x.x.x.x:0.0,4) 
returned -13
(3) SGI's answer is that "The DGL protocol that supports the IRIS GL 
remote rendering is proprietary to SGI and the only interpreter for it 
(dgld) runs only on SGI workstations. This is why you are seeing this 
error when trying to display gr_osview to a non-SGI system."  [Note that 
the client is considered the "remote machine" in this case]
The question, on the off change that someone may have had some 
experience with this:  any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any constructive thoughts or suggestions.
My apologies to anyone who may be offended by this somewhat "off topic" 
posting.
