[Freeglut-bugs] Freeglut errors from python

[Fabrizio P. <pol...@ir...>]

I am trying to use DRI from python using pyopengl on a Debian/Linux Etch 
i386 box.

The sample code

----
#!/usr/bin/python
from OpenGL.GLUT import *
import sys

glutInit(sys.argv)
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH)
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480)
glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0)
glutCreateWindow("test")
glutMainLoop()
----

produces the warning

----
freeglut (./test.py): Unable to create direct context rendering for 
window 'test'
This may hurt performance.
----

and all my code is slow.
If I add the GLUT_ALPHA bit to glutInitDisplayMode, the warning becomes 
an error

----
freeglut (./test.py):  ERROR:  Internal error <Visual with necessary 
capabilities not found> in function fgOpenWindow
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
   Major opcode of failed request:  4 (X_DestroyWindow)
   Resource id in failed request:  0x0
   Serial number of failed request:  19
   Current serial number in output stream:  22
----

For more information, I attached the outputs of glxinfo and xdpyinfo.

Thank you in advance for any help.
