Graphics / OpenGL is not properly detected on Ubuntu 16.04 VM

« on: July 16, 2016, 01:11:34 pm »

When I start my SFML application the following message and a white window appear:

Warning: The created OpenGL context does not fully meet the settings that were requested
Requested: version = 1.1 ; depth bits = 0 ; stencil bits = 0 ; AA level = 0 ; core = false ; debug = false
Created: version = 0.0 ; depth bits = 24 ; stencil bits = 8 ; AA level = 0 ; core = false ; debug = false
Setting vertical sync not supported
sfml-graphics requires support for OpenGL 1.1 or greater
Ensure that hardware acceleration is enabled if available
 

but I have following GLX infos:

$ glxinfo -B
name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL vendor string: Humper
OpenGL renderer string: Chromium
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.50

Even the unity test provides positive info regarding the OpenGL features:

$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
OpenGL vendor string:   Humper
OpenGL renderer string: Chromium
OpenGL version string:  2.1 Chromium 1.9

Not software rendered:    yes
Not blacklisted:          yes
GLX fbconfig:             yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:        yes
GL fragment program:      yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:    yes
GL version is 1.4+:       yes

Unity 3D supported:       yes
 

Is this a problem in SFML or is my system not configured properly? glxgears is rendering fine though.
