Try the latest pre-release:

http://www.virtualgl.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases

I think one of the patches OpenText contributed in the past couple of 
days should fix this.

Not sure why Mesa advertises support for that extension but doesn't 
actually provide the function symbol, but VirtualGL now checks for the 
presence of glXCreateContextAttribsARB() in the underlying OpenGL 
library before it reports to the application that GLX_ARB_create_context 
and GLX_ARB_create_context_profile are available.
