CentOS

Good morning everyone,

This is my first post. I'll do my best

I have a CentOS release 6.10 with 2 nvidia cards (Quadro P5000). As far as I know, I installed nvidia drivers from the official page (it was a .sh file). This is the output of nvidia-smi:

I need access through RDP on this machine, so I installed the packages (xrdp, tigervnc-server, tigervnc-server-module and xorg-x11-server-Xorg) from yum. I can access the machine, but when I run glxinfo I have an error:

Code: Select all

This is the strange part, because libGLX is installed. It's picking the one from /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 (using whereis libGLX.so) but I think those are not the files that nvidia installs.

Do I need some additional configuration? Do I need to point to another lib?

In case this helps, this is the current xorg.conf file (generated using nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus --separate-x-screens):

Thank you so much.

Connecting via RDP does not use the physical display card nor will it use the drivers for it.

So is this behaviour "normal"? Is there a way to remote access the machine in order to use its drivers?
