That would explain to me Jerome's earlier comment that glXIsDirect tells me all I need to know.

Hence my preference for vendor documentation. Corbin Simpson wrote: > The DRM only exposes a few simple ioctls; ... Yes but extremely powerful.

I will have a look and also at Cairo Now, if I may, back to my immediate problem. I have a program that runs perfectly when passing False as 4th argument to glXCreateContext. glXIsDirect confirms I got an indirect rendering context. When passing True the call to glXCreateContext succeeds, glXIsDirect returns GL_TRUE but glXMakeCurrent fails. I thought and see confirmation for that thought in some of your comments that that should not happen. Correct ? Any ideas? Anyway, I will go back to the reading room. Thanks for your reactions sofar.
