I''m guessing that GLX doesn''t like what type of window you''re asking GLUT to give you. My guesses as to what could be causing this for you are:

  • You want too big of a window (unlikely).

  • You want a bitdepth that X isn''t configured to allow (maybe).

  • Your video drivers aren''t fully and/or correctly setup (maybe, I have no idea how much RedHat sets up, but I do know that your card is supported).

  • A bug in GLUT (unlikely).


Do any OpenGL programs run? Do any GLUT-using OpenGL programs run? Try running ''glxinfo'' in a terminal, and scanning the output for anything useful.
