I'm using XLaunch Windows X server on my Win10 box to reach the Ubuntu 18 box with ssh -Y. The computer is remote and inaccessible. No keyboard and screen attached. lshw dump below. Does the video hardware even matter when using X11?

xclock, wireshark, and even glxgears work fine, ffplay seems to be only program with issues.

ffplay version is N-99744-g343c314. ffplay error message:

X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  149 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate)
  Serial number of failed request:  223
  Current serial number in output stream:  224

Is this error occurring on the Ubuntu machine running ffplay, or is it coming back from the XLaunch X server on the Windows box?

When I search for this error message, I see offered solutions like reinstall NVidia drivers. I can't touch NVidia drivers, the Tesla T4 card being used as GPU with its specific drivers, it's not a graphics interface anyway.

Thanks for any tips.

$ sudo lshw -C video

    Never found a solution. Gave up trying to do remote ffplay on this host, used ffmpeg to fwd the stream to a different machine and play it from there. – MAXdB Jan 02 '22 at 08:39
