How to enable “AllowIndirectGLX” on Ubuntu 18.04 with Nvidia (1050Ti)
Following scenario: I like to a run an opengl application from a remote cli only server (with a matrox graphics card) through "ssh -X". My local machine is running Ubuntu 18.04 with Nvidia graphics. I've google'd around and found, that I need to enable "AllowIndirectGLX" locally. Unfortunately I've not found how to do this the right way.
There seem to be two possibilities:
1. Adding '"AllowIndirectGLX" = "on"' to some xorg.conf.
2. Adding "+iglx" as a launch parameter to Xorg command.
Problems with this: There is no "xorg.conf" under "/etc/X11". The only file that comes near this is "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf". For solution 2 my best guess is "/usr/bin/Xorg". But maybe I need to set this for the GDM configuration?
I would like to avoid endless trail and error sessions. Hopefully you guys can help out!
Thank you in advance!
