OpenGL installed, but no ogld running

[Neil Dixon]

I have OpenGL installed on a B2000 with Visualize-FXE card and 11i installed. The OGL verify-install demo runs, but xdpyinfo does not show the GLX extension. Should it? I notice that ogld process is not running. And ideas?

check graphinfo output ... I think it will be more relevant see the HP OpenGL SUPPORT section

Your X server and OpenGL should be at the same patch level to assure they are compatible with eachother.

The OpenGL library will use software rasterization and XPutImage to render to an X server that does not report support for the GLX extension.
