#24 Advmame crashes with Nvidia drivers (linux)

[ray sarvatt]

Good morning,
When I open advancemame and press the tab key, the app crashes with this error code:

X Error of failed request: GLXBadContextTag
Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 615
Current serial number in output stream: 615
Error process exited with status 1.

I use Ubuntu system with Nvidia driver 525
and it happens to me both on Wayland and on Xorg.
Sounds like something related to Nvidia drivers
What can I do to fix it?

Finally I tried with a NVidea board and I can replicate the issue.

You can workaround it with the -nosmp option when starting advmame.
