Amdcal remote usage

[riven]

Hi guys, got a bit of an issue that I can't seem to solve myself. I've tried internet searching too, to no avail.

Basically I have amdcal running on a box in the office. It works locally, but when accessing it remotely via ssh it cannot find the gpu device.

It requires a running, authenticated (for the user) X server. Most people suggest that setting DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 and maybe an "xhost +x" should do the trick. But it's just not working. It's running on Ubuntu which I'm not very familiar with, they don't use a different display number do they? I've tried 1->10. Am I missing something obvious (X forwarding is ON).

Basically any ideas/help/inspiration would be great.

I'd be very surprised if you ever got that to work. The X protocol doesn't understand newfangled things like GPUs (bear in mind I was using X servers 16 years ago when the 3D world was the preserve of dedicated hardware). The best I would expect is access to the remote GPU, but that's not where the X server is running, so you're fubar'd.
