OpenGL not working on Intel HD Graphics 5500 (X62)

I can't get OpenGL to work on my machine. "glxinfo" returns "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig".  My Xorg log says that the glx module does not exist ("Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)"). I have installed mesa-libgl, lib32-mesa-libgl, mesa and lib32-mesa. I have tried the intel driver ("xf86-video-intel") and the modesetting driver. I am on an X62 laptop. OpenGL works on Windows. The laptop has a Broadwell CPU with integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500. My xorg log is here. Thanks.

Re: OpenGL not working on Intel HD Graphics 5500 (X62)

From the log file:

[     6.683] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[     6.685] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
[     6.685] (II) UnloadModule: "glx"
[     6.685] (II) Unloading glx
[     6.685] (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)

Is it a partial upgrade? otherwise try to reinstall xorg-server and mesa/mesa-libgl and/or a proper upgrade (pacman -Syu)

Re: OpenGL not working on Intel HD Graphics 5500 (X62)

xorg-server looks fine...

stat /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
pacman -Qi libglvnd

Do you have custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf* stuff?

Re: OpenGL not working on Intel HD Graphics 5500 (X62)

It's working now (" Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so"). No idea what I did to make it stop working or start working :S. Could have been a partial upgrade as you mentioned. Thanks for your assistance.
