SDL/OpenGL and X-forwarding?

I’m trying to remotely display my OpenGL application, but it’s not
working at all. I can run a GLUT application from the same remote
machine, but SDL_SetVideoMode() can’t create a surface. The only flags
I’m passing to it are SDL_OPENGL.

Any ideas how I can make this work?
Thanks,
Richard Schreyer

Does the testgl program in the SDL source archive have the same problem?
If so, what’s the error message?

I’ve been playing around with it a bit more, and got my application to
work. I’m not exactly sure what I changed though…

For reference, the testgl program also worked, the application was
running on a fedora box with SDL 1.2.5, and the xserver was running on
OS X.
