Just to add some (maybe) useful data, logging in through ssh -X on the server I get the following command output:
$ glxinfo | grep “OpenGL”
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 440.82)
And actually the first part of the complete output of glxinfo command on my desktop machine is the following:
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
