Part2 - X Font Server

@ Server rock@gpfs-server:~$ sudo vim /etc/X11/fs/config

#no-listen = tcp

rock@gpfs-server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/xfs restart
rock@gpfs-server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

@ Client rider@350z:~$sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf

FontPath "tcp/ServerIP_Address:7100"

## Client can get fonts support from x font server (xfs)

## Put the RGB Database (rgb.txt - attached file)to the path /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
rock@gpfs-server:~$ sudo cp /home/rock/rgb.txt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/

Part3 - TurboVNC Server Activation

rock@gpfs-server:~$ /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver

New 'X' desktop is gpfs-server:1

Creating default startup script /home/rock/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/rock/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/rock/.vnc/gpfs-server:1.log

PS1:

Individual users can provide both user and view-only passwords. These should be different. Users can give the view-only password to someone so that they can see the remote session, but not interact.TurboVNC assigns access based on which password is used. The user password lets you provide mouse and keyboard input.

PS2:

I set 2 passwords for both user & view-only,and passwords are different for all-level users.

VirtualGL

Server

rock@gpfs-server:~$ sudo /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglserver_config

1) Configure server for use with VirtualGL in GLX mode
2) Unconfigure server for use with VirtualGL in GLX mode
X) Exit

Choose:
1

rock@gpfs-server:~$ sudo vim /etc/profile

### Using GLP by Default in VirtualGL

VGL_DISPLAY=glp
export VGL_DISPLAY

rock@gpfs-server:~$ source /etc/profile
rock@gpfs-server:~$ /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglrun IvIsee 3D_model_file

Client

rider@350z:~$ /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglconnect ServerIP_Address

IvIsee + VirtualGL + TurboVNC +/- GPFS
