Defining OpenGL Settings

Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure OpenGL settings and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box. The OpenGL page of the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box lets you enable GLX extensions and configure the following OpenGL settings.

If you experience difficulty running 3D applications on some newer Linux systems after configuring the following options, see Running 3D Applications on Newer Linux Systems.

Enable GLX Extension  Enables GLX extension and OpenGL interface options.

Hardware Acceleration  This option applies only to Exceed onDemand Client for Windows. If this option is disabled, or if your hardware has no OpenGL acceleration, Microsoft's software implementation of OpenGL is used. To improve your OpenGL application performance, we recommend installing graphics cards with OpenGL acceleration.

Overlay Support  Enables support for 3D overlays if supported by your video adapter. Changing this setting requires a server restart.

GLX 1.3 Support  This option applies only to Exceed onDemand Client for Windows. It enables support for the advanced features of GLX 1.3.

Cache Attributes  Caches attributes on the proxy side to improve performance.

Fast Replies  If you select this option, in some cases the proxy does not wait for a reply from Exceed onDemand Client before sending a reply to the X application. Selecting this option may improve performance.

After you make changes, click OK to save the changes and return to the previous dialog box or click Apply and select another tab to continue modifying the Xconfig file.
