VMD -> OpenGL-display does not work on Xforwarding

Greetings,

I am trying to use Xforwarding to open vmd remotely. My local machine is Mac but the remote one on the su[ercomputer is a linux. I can successfully open VMD using Xforwarding, yet the OpenGL display does not show anything even after I import the molecular data. Has anyone ran into issues like this before?
