I have a GPU instance on Amazon Web Services I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
The console show that the drivers are loaded perfectly, see below output
$nvidia-smi -q | head

Timestamp : Thu Nov 13 07:11:13 2014 Driver Version : 340.29
Attached GPUs : 1 GPU 0000:00:03.0 Product Name : GRID K520 Product Brand : Grid
I have installed xcfe4 and installed vncserver, I can login to the vncviewer and see the instance with xcfe4 but the drivers are not getting loaded there.
It is using software rendering and hence I cannot run blender or any OpenGL applications
Please see the output of the glxdemo command, run through the vnc viewer, a green box appears and the following error is spit out
$glxdemo
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

I have also uploaded the screenshot here http://i.imgur.com/GzIXRp0.png
I would like to know is there a way I can enable the drivers for VNC, I have already tried with x11vnc and it did not work, if someone has a better configuration please let me know I will try again.
Kindly help me with this please?
I have read about virtualgl but dont know how to use it and will it be applicable to my case.
