Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] freeglut: Unable to create direct context rendering

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

The code

glutInit(sys.argv)
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_ALPHA)
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480)
glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0)
glutCreateWindow("Jeff Molofee's GL Code Tutorial ... NeHe '99")

produces the following error on my system (Debian/Linux Etch i386)

freeglut (./p.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

I have attached the full output of glxinfo and xdpyinfo for more 
information.
