glx 1.3 isn't working: XGetVisualInfo returned 0

[Aapo]

Host: Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit)

Guest: Ubuntu 10.10 (32bit)

VirtualBox 4.0.2. Acceleration:3D, Additions installed.

(On host everything is working)

On guest: glxgear is working.

glxinfo | grep version
server glx version string: 1.3 Chromium 
client glx version string: 1.3 Chromium
GLX version: 1.3
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

I compiled glXIntro (for GLX 1.3): ​http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glXIntro.xml (gcc glxintro -lGL)

Running will give error:

OpenGL Warning: XGetVisualInfo returned 0 visuals for 0x892f860
OpenGL Warning: Retry with 0x8002 returned 0 visuals
Segmentation fault

I'm not a developer of VirtualBox, so this is just a comment.

On Windows Host, I tried same sample source today, and got same segmentation fault error. But the error isn't reproduced after adding glXQueryVersion call. Please see the attachment in #8329, it is modified version of the source.

I hope this information will help you and VirtualBox developers.

Could you check whether the issue is fixed with VBox 4.3 and 4.3 Additions?

hmm, the issue is still there based on the screenshot from #12188. Will have a look if this can be fixed easily.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
