If things are failing at this stage, the XOrg logs (Linux, typically under `/var/log/Xorg.${n}.log`, where `${n}` is the session number) and XQuartz logs (MacOS, typically under `~/Library/Logs/X11/`) usually have information that's helpful for troubleshooting. |

If `glxinfo` isn't installed, please check the [workstation setup](workstation_setup) page for missing dependencies. |
