[scilab-Users] usecanvas on remote display on linux

[Vergnes Nicolas]

Hi,

I tried tu use uicontrols with plots with 

Cygwin X server : not working, I know that Cygwin dont support hardware accelereation.

But I'm surprised that it's not working with
Exceed on Demand : not working,I have the uicontrol/usecanvas alert message ( with Exceed on Demand, I can run other 3d softwares which require hardware acceleration )

I dont have tested with VirtualGL/TurboVNC

Hi,

I suppose you are talking about VNC sessions ? The only solution is to use the VirtualGL/TurboVNC stuff provided by Sun. If you can plug a decent Nvidia card (e.g. Quadro) in your server, it is just a matter of installing the native
X11 Nvidia drivers and the stuff I mention above.
I am currently unable to tell you if it works with Scilab, because our (Sun) server does not have a regular PCI-Express slot....
