[SOLVED] Intel HD Graphics 4000 glXCreateContextAttribsARB Failed

I am running an example Sokol program: https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples … ube-sapp.c

I get this error:

[sapp][panic][id:35] ../../sokol/sokol_app.h:10351:0:
	LINUX_GLX_CREATE_CONTEXT_FAILED: Failed to create GL context via glXCreateContextAttribsARB

Is the graphics card too old to support this command?

inxi -Ga

Does the mesa-amber package work better?

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HD Graphics 4000 glXCreateContextAttribsARB Failed

I figured out the issue. The library defaults to using GL 4.3, but the max core profile for the Intel 4000 is GL 4.2.

glxinfo -B

name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
    Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086)
    Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2) (0x166)
    Version: 21.3.9
    Accelerated: yes
    Video memory: 1536MB
    Unified memory: yes
    Preferred profile: core (0x1)
    Max core profile version: 4.2
    Max compat profile version: 3.0
    Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
    Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.0
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.2 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.3.9-arch.6 Amber
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.20
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 21.3.9-arch.6 Amber
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 21.3.9-arch.6 Amber
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00

In the sokol_main function I can set it to use an older version:

    return (sapp_desc){
        .gl_major_version = 4,
        .gl_minor_version = 1,
        .init_cb = init,
        ...

https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html#en … N_OVERRIDE but the client likely will actually require 4.2 ?
