OK, thanks. In that case the correct status of the bug is "Fix
Released". If we knew *what* change fixed it then we could try to get
the same fix into 18.04. Probably Mesa, I guess?

Title:
Failure to create core GL context with llvmpipe when using
GLX_ARB_context_flush_control
Status in libsdl2 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When using llvmpipe on the non-HWE xorg version GL core context
creation fails when using "GLX_ARB_context_flush_control" even though
the driver reports that the extension is supported.
Apologies if xorg is the wrong package here, this could be a libgl1
-mesa-dri/glx bug instead, it's unclear to me where the fault lies in
the graphics stack.
xserver-common:
Installed: 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4.7
Candidate: 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4.7
linux-generic:
Installed: 4.15.0.122.109
Candidate: 4.15.0.122.109
Steps to reproduce on Ubuntu Server:
1. Install Ubuntu 18.04 server edition in a VM, or other hardware without a
physical graphics device
2. Install the desktop with "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop"
3. Reboot
4. Compile and run the attached file
Steps to reproduce on Ubuntu Desktop:
1. Install Ubuntu 18.04 desktop edition in a VM, or other hardware without a
physical graphics device
2. Remove the HWE packages with "apt remove *-hwe-18.04" and then "apt
install xserver-xorg-core ubuntu-desktop xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-all
xserver-xorg-input-all libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx" to get things back to
normal
3. Reboot
4. Compile and run the attached file
Both examples produce:
"Could not create GL context: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)"
For both cases, upgrading to (or staying on) the HWE stack allows
creating the core 3.3 context successfully.
Debugging:
I've stepped all the way into libxcb for the context creation at
src/glx.c:3258, with a call to
"xcb_glx_create_context_attribs_arb_checked", but haven't managed to
link this up to a received request in another process. The request is
rejected with BadValue.
BadVaue in this instance could mean one of two things according to GL spec:
1. The GLX_RENDER_TYPE attribute is invalid
2. An attribute or it's bitmask are not recognized.
We can likely rule out 1 as GLX_RENDER_TYPE is correctly set to
opengl. Option 2 allows looking at it at a higher level. SDL2 adds
`GLX_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOUR_ARB=GLX_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOUR_FLUSH_ARB`
to the attributes (at src/video/x11/SDL_x11opengl.c:720) by default
when it detects the `GLX_ARB_context_flush_control` extension is
present, which should be a no-op and the default setting. `glxinfo`
and other gl functions all show that `GLX_ARB_context_flush_control`
is present, but removing that usage from the attributes list (by
removing lines 720 to 726 avoids the issue and we are given a valid GL
context.
Due to this, I think something in the graphics stack is rejecting the
usage of GLX_ARB_context_flush_control, even though it's claiming to
support it through other gl calls. The llvmpipe GL driver reports core
support up to 3.3 as well, so this shouldn't be an issue. I also
suspect it's simply something that's been fixed more recently, as
installing the newer HWE versions of xorg (and the kernel) fixes the
issue.
I wouldn't expect to have to upgrade to the HWE stack to be able to get a
working GL context this way, so I'm reporting this to check if it's a known
issue or if there's a fix that can be made.
The attached file depends on "libsdl2-dev" and can be compiled and run with:
"g++ main.cpp -I/usr/include/SDL2 -lSDL2 -lGL && ./a.out"
