Attempting to RUN ProEng WildFire on SGI and display across the network

    In order to get pass the 2GByte Virtual Memory Limit of a 32 bits Windows XP
    system, we Installed ProEng Wildfire on a SGI Origin hoping to use a Windows
    XP system with Exceed and Exceed 3D as a front End Terminal.

    Upon Starting ProEng we get a message to the effect that OPENGL is not
    available and that X-Window will be used instead. We also tried a Linux and
    genuine SGI Workstation as the remote workstation with the same result.

    Is OPENGL across the network supported by ProEng ?

    If you are using a remote X Display on a PC.
    The PC is the graphics server and the SGI is the graphics client.
    IIRC this means that the X implementation on your Windows or Linux
    system has to be able to accept OpenGL calls.
    If it doesn't the SGI can't use OpenGL.

    Best regards,
