[IDV #FVM-820950]: IDV cannot run: unable to create graphics configuration

Jonathan,
The standard Unidata response in this case would be to serve the data through a
THREDDS or RAMADDA server and access it from the IDV on your desktop/laptop.
Another suggestion:
Make sure your graphics driver is up-to-date on your client machine.
I am also curious to know if the IDV will run at all on your client machine.
Best,
