GLX 1.3 or later on XorgServer 1.7.7

[yogi_al]

Hi,

I have TC 4.7 running Xorg Server 1.7.7 on one of our legacy POS systems. When I run Chromium Browser to open a specific kiosk site it gives me a ERROR:gl_surface_glx.cc - GLX 1.3 or later is required.
How do I get GLX 1.3 or later installed? I read that XOrgServer 1.7.6 contains GLX 1.4 but its not enabled? Any help will be great. Thanks in advance folks.

-Cheers

Have you installed a 3d driver? What's the output of "glxinfo | grep vers"?

Hi curaga,

I tried installing Xorg-7.5-3d as well.
This is the info as requeested..

Code: [Select]

server glx version string: 1.2
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.2
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.8.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

Maybe you need a newer Xorg, I guess?

Thanks Curaga, but i cant upgrade since the display drivers that I have on the POS system work only with Xorg Server 1.7.7. Is there any another way ?

Google says GLX 1.4 was enabled in xorg-server 1.8, but ChromeOS has a patch for 1.7:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/d208ca47dbd683ba55ae187b96ccca4f2f5887ba/x11-base/xorg-server/files/1.7.6-glx-1.4.patch

You'd need to rebuild xorg-server with that patch.
