That is usually the case when the GPU (graphic card) does not provide the requested features such as bit depth or features such as double-buffering (actually that would fail already at OpenGL context /creation/ time, but let's skip over the details here, shall ww ;)).

Could well be that your remote X client (or was it the X Server? IIRC those X11 people have a weitd notion of "server" and "client" - but never mind ;)), that is the display "where you eventually show the app", claims to have features (for the created GL context) which it doesn't (or the "X Server" on the remote display is simply buggy).

Oliver, thank you.
I haven't got the application locally.
Need to build from sources and it will
pull in lots of other dependencies.
However, I can give it a go if all else fails.
What I can see is that locally, i.e. on the X server (the
local laptop where I view the results) glxgears
runs fine and glxinfo returns this:
GLX version: 1.4
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086)
Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile (0xa16)
Version: 11.1.2
Accelerated: yes
Video memory: 1534MB
Unified memory: yes
Preferred profile: core (0x1)
Max core profile version: 3.3
Max compat profile version: 3.0
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.0
which looks fine, no?

Don't know for sure.
Maybe you can suggest a test application?
I sometimes use the Abaqus, a proprietary CAD
software on the remote cluster.
If I want to view the 3D via ssh, I have
to launch the application with "-mesa" switch,
otherwise it fails with the following errors,
which, as I understand mean that there are
no GL acceleration on the remote cluster side.
Maybe I'm wrong?
$ abaqus viewer
