Axis errors out when ran from an RDP session

I can RDP in OK and display the desktop, run the mousepad editor, Iceweasel browser etc ok but when I launch Axis it fails. I can post the full error log too but I for now I just grabbed a quick screenshot in case this is a known issue with a simple fix:

Well that "bad window" should explain it, it can not make a window to display the content as it is software emulated, and i am fairly certain that there is no way of running GL apps over RDP.
There is a nice way of running it over SSH that works nicely, so search for it or Andy can mention how if he reads this.

Oh ok, I didn't know it won't run on a remote session like that. SSH would work if you're on a system that runs an X Server. I'll try VNC and see if that works, if not I'll install an X server on my windows box. Thanks.

VNC does work but lags a lot, so not really usable.

I use SSH. I seem to need to use the -Y flag to make it work.
(But this is using a Mac as the display end, might be different in Windows)

Yes the -Y just bypasses the security restrictions of X11 but on a windows computer you need an X server. I haven't gotten around to it yet as there are other things taking priority but I'll update once I have it working.
