Enable iglx on Mac OS (XQuartz) or Linux for JavaFX Applications

When executing a Java FX application on a remote SSH server by forwarding display to local X11(XQuartz), I got this error:

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  149 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  25
  Current serial number in output stream:  26
