Mike-You are running in offscreen mode in your ISL. What are you using for an X-Server? If you are using Xvfb, it might be that the version you are using does not support the latest GLX.

Mike, Make sure the graphics driver is up to date. I know you mention you have no problems running from the UI, but please try anyway. If that is not the solution, then there seems to be a mismatch between your head and headless environment. Somehow the display settings for headless mode are not correct. Make sure you have the GLX module installed for your X server.

I am trying to open a simple bundle and generate a basic output graphic using an ISL file: runIDV -islfile scripts/MUtest2.isl We have been able to successfully run a very similar .isl file that creates a PNG file when ISL is launched with the GUIs. (run IDV, create a simple plot on the default loaded map, then Open menu > ISL file) We are stumped as to why we can create a PNG running the software through the GUI, but get this OFF_SCREEN error when run through the command line with the -islfile argument. here is the error: [root@ddc-ls-eddy IDV_3.1u1]# ./runIDV -islfile scripts/MUtest2.isl Java 3D WARNING : reported GLX version = 1.2 GLX version 1.3 or higher is required The reported version number may be incorrect. There is a known ATI driver bug in glXQueryVersion that incorrectly reports the GLX version as 1.2 when it really is 1.3, so Java 3D will attempt to run anyway.
