Text does not work in Linux (ATI/glx)

[Erik Simon <esimon@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm using OpenInventor 2.1 on Linux :

OpenInventor rpms:
  sgi-OpenInventor-clients-2.1.5-6
  sgi-OpenInventor-data-2.1.5-6
  sgi-OpenInventor-devel-2.1.5-6

Linux:
  SuSE 7.0 (kernel 2.2.15)
  XFree 3.3.6 (xf86_3x-3.3.6-47.rpm)
  GLX (glx-000623-1.rpm)
  Mesa 3.2 (mesa-3.2-63.rpm)

Hardware:
  PII 400
  ATI 3D RagePro AGP (used as PCI by XF86 with driver Mach64)

Note that I had to disable pixmap/font caches to be able to use glx.

The text (SoText3) does not appear in my programs. Here is what I get:
  @@Created GLX Context..
  invalid data type to GLX_data_size: 0x1407!!
  invalid data type to GLX_data_size: 0x1407!!
  invalid data type to GLX_data_size: 0x1407!!
  invalid data type to GLX_data_size: 0x1407!!

I got the same error when I tried to redirect the display from a SGI
running the same code to my Linux display. I guess there might be a
bug in GLX, since the text works fine with Mesasoft, but this doesn't
use the hardware acceleration of my card, which is sad.

Any idea?

Thanks.
