Our machine is an Onyx 1 originally RE2 upgraded to IR,
with 2 RM6_16's, and is running 6.2 I have the June patch
set installed with all the latest patches for PF22 , I do have
a support call ongoing but we seem to have stalled the
X_GLX error,
I was hoping that 6.5 would have shipped and seen if that would
cure the problem , but I fear I wll have left before then.
Cheers
Gordon.

Hi
I'm not sure if these two problems are the same, but the approach to
both could be the same. It would be well worth checking that you both
have the latest patches before doing any deep analysis.
www.sgi.com/support/ will show you the latest patchsets for your
machines, they'll include the latest iR patches:
patch 2922: Onyx2 6.4 graphics rollup #5 including GVO support or
patch 2795: Onyx2 Diagnostics 7th release
There was one old problem with indirect contexts ( maybe opened being
opened via motif in this case ) that gave the
'X_GLXVendorPrivateWithReply' type error, that is fixed in recent
patches. There were some pbuffer related probs that gave a BadWindow
type error but only when doing certian things with pbuffers, fixed in pf
2.2.
If you still have the same problems then a support call with something
to reproduce the problem is the best way to go.
Cheers
Rob
