Comment 7 for bug 203144

Out of bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472675

According to the plib site, ssgInit should be called after an OpenGL
context is available (or glutInit has been called and a window created).
Looking at the code suggests that this is fine.

I can't reproduce the bug in i386 with an Intel graphics card. I'd say
it is GPU-specific, or the user has broken GL libraries:

To the submitter, please compile and run this test to see if your OpenGL
setup is broken:

Run these commands to run the test:

gcc -O2 -Wall -c -o glxtest.o ./glxtest.c
gcc -O2 -Wall -lGL -lm -o glxtest ./glxtest.o
./glxtest
