Getting Started with Remote Graphics Software 1. nVidia method: nVidia graphics drivers have extensions that enable remote viewing of OpenGL applications using a Remote Graphics Software. This method requires no user configuration other than making sure the proper nVidia drivers (version 1.0-5336 and beyond) are properly installed on the system. 2. LD_PRELOAD method: The LD_PRELOAD method is used for systems that do not have nVidia graphics installed. Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable as follows: $ export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/hpremote/lib/librgopengl.so Once the LD_PRELOAD variable is properly set, any OpenGL application can be started. The application should then properly display in a Remote Graphics Software environment. To automate the setting of the environment variable, the variable can be set in the users .profile. For example, for those using bash, add the following to the system or users .bash_profile: $ export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/hpremote/lib/librgopengl.so Adding this to the .profile will enable remote viewing of 3D OpenGL screensavers. Enabling OpenGL, PHIGS, PEX and Starbase Applications on HP-UX OpenGL, PHIGS, PEX, and Starbase applications are automatically setup for remote access within an HP Remote Graphics Software environment. No extra setup steps are necessary. All that is required is that the proper X server and OpenGL libraries to be installed on the system. 41

LD_PRELOAD
environment variable
as follows:
$ export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/hpremote/lib/librgopengl.so
Once the
LD_PRELOAD
variable is properly set, any OpenGL application can be
started. The application should then properly display in a Remote Graphics
Software environment. To automate the setting of the environment variable,
the variable can be set in the users .profile. For example, for those using bash,
add the following to the system or users .bash_profile:
$ export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/hpremote/lib/librgopengl.so
Adding this to the .profile will enable remote viewing of 3D OpenGL
screensavers.

access within an HP Remote Graphics Software environment. No extra setup steps
are necessary. All that is required is that the proper X server and OpenGL libraries to
