Hello there!
I am attempting to  run an opengl application remptely to a ubuntu
linux machine from my windows 8 machine.
To do so  I start the cygwin console, call startxwin.
Running glxinfo | grep OpenGL returns the vendor of my graphics card, NVIDIA.

glxinfo |grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 580/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (4.4.0)
OpenGL extensions:
Then I ssh on the ubuntu machine using -X -C as the parameters.
When attempting to start the application the console reads
extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
Afterwards, the cygwin/X server crashes and I have to restart it.I
attached the log from
/var/log/Xwin/XWin.0.log

Does cygwin/x support running OpenGL applications remotely? Am I
missing something? Do I have to install the mesa-utils libraries on
the remote machine?
Thanks so much!
