Nothing special. Just following the steps through the linked thread. It seems that installing the packages mentioned there fixed it. But since then, I've been having system freezes. So maybe they were not the fix. Regardless, I have glxinfo not reporting any issues now and have been trying to figure out my freezing issue.

I was able to fix it. Thank you for pointing me that way.

I'm using Arch Linux and I have both the proprietary and open source Nvidia drivers installed. I believe I currently have the open source ones active right now. Mesa 20.1.7-1. It's a very old graphics card, if that has anything to do with anything. It's a GTX 640

As the title said, I'm struggling with baby's first program. I installed SFML and followed the instructions from the SFML and Linux page. I got everything to compile, but when I do the final step and try to run it, I get this error.

Code: [Select]

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  151 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  56
  Current serial number in output stream:  57
I've tried searching around for this, but I haven't been able to find anything that helps or matches the the last two lines's serial numbers. Based on searching, I'm lead to believe this has something to do with my graphics card drivers. But I've tried reinstalling them. Any help is appreciated.
