Tested glxinfo with the following configurations:

machine1: Linux Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 with nVidia Quadro FX 3600M driver 185.18.36.
machine2: linux Ubuntu 9.10 x86 with nVidia GeForce 6800 driver 185.18.36.

Working on machine1:
$ glxinfo &> report1.txt
$ ssh -X machine2
$ glxinfo &> report2.txt

It turns out that in indirect mode (rendering on machine1 but executing on machine2), some extensions are not advertised, including PBO but the advertised OpenGL version is 3.0, for which PBO is a core feature!

This is a bug in the nVidia GLX indirect rendering protocol. This is not a bug in VTK.

A conservative solution is to change VTK logic so that in indirect mode, it pretents the OpenGL implementation is only 1.1. It would work correctly as the VTK components that need advanced OpenGL look first for the OpenGL version, then if the version is too low, they look for extensions.

More tests shows this is not a bug in the Xserver layer but really in the nVidia driver: two machines with both nVidia driver 195.36.15, one on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and one on Arch x86_64 made paraview crash when the use as X-server throught a remote connection.

This seems to be working correctly for me. Please reopen if this bug still shows up. Tested trunk, local server.
