Package: libgl1-mesa-glx
Version: 6.4.2-1
Severity: normal

How to reproduce the bug:

install r-cran-rgl

Start R and enter the following line in R:

library(rgl);triangles3d(c(1,,2,3),c(1,2,4),c(1,3,5));rgl.postscript('testing.pdf','pdf')

R crashes with th following message:

X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContextState
  Major opcode of failed request:  142 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  85
  Current serial number in output stream:  85

Installing libgl1-mesa-swx11 removes a lot of other packages (xorg...) but the 
system is still running and the above R line succeeds.

There is some discussion about this error on the r-help mailinglist 
([email protected]) in the thread 'rgl: exporting to pdf or png does not 
work'.
