Thanks all for the replies. Shouldn't be much of a problem getting an
nVidia card into the server. I think I can handle that caveat.
Thanks again,

Hi Stephen,
I may have one tip: I had the same issue, and managed to fix it (somewhat)
by
apt-get install nvidia-glx-185
(reboot)
(obviously that only makes sense on a machine with an nvidia card).
After this I am able to run register and Display through NX - with one
caveat: they will still segfault when quitting them 'nicely'. So I've
just gotten used to use Ctrl-C when done running register and Display
in an NX session :)
It might work for you too.
