It isn't generating the key so the xauth merge fails This link fixes paths, and I think might be relevant for my problem https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Fedora-SRPMS/blob/master/VirtualGL/fix-paths-in-vglgenkey.patch diff -Nru VirtualGL-2.3.orig/server/vglgenkey VirtualGL-2.3/server/vglgenkey --- VirtualGL-2.3.orig/server/vglgenkey 2012-02-25 00:12:07.913553458 -0500 +++ VirtualGL-2.3/server/vglgenkey 2012-02-25 00:23:01.450462350 -0500 @@ -1,17 +1,14 @@ #!/bin/sh XAUTH=xauth -if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth ]; then - XAUTH=/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth +if [ -x /usr/bin/xauth ]; then + XAUTH=/usr/bin/xauth fi -if [ -x /usr/openwin/bin/xauth ]; then - XAUTH=/usr/openwin/bin/xauth +if [ ! -d /etc/VirtualGL ]; then + mkdir -p /etc/VirtualGL fi -if [ ! -d /etc/opt/VirtualGL ]; then - mkdir -p /etc/opt/VirtualGL +if [ -f /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key ]; then + rm /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key fi -if [ -f /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key ]; then - rm /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key -fi -...
