[PyOpenGL-Users] simple pyopengl script works on one machine, but not on another

[Matthew E. <mat...@gm...>]

The pyopengl-based python script at...

https://github.com/glumpy/glumpy/blob/master/examples/tutorial/quad-glut.py

...works perfectly on my desktop computer, producing a colourful window.
Unfortunately, when run on my laptop, it only produces a black window, with
no error or warning messages.

I am running Ubuntu 15.10, but I had this same problem on 14.04 (in fact I
upgraded to 15.10 to see if that might help solve this problem).

Other opengl applications run well. For instance glxgears works, and I have
a python script that uses FTGL to display some text, and this works
correctly.

Below are the output of some command-line queries to show details of my
hardware and drivers. Please let me know if any other information could
help resolve this strange bug. Any suggestions for things to try would be
much appreciated! Thanks in advance
