problem seems to be introduced by the common EGL code: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/ac4ce59c40e7

It works for me on Ubuntu 14.04, nVidia and Mesa drivers with testrendercopyex. Can you specify which system you get this with ?

I tried the test case from this ticket and also with my app (only rendered opengles 1 is not creating!)

https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2421

I have also ubuntu 14.04 !
And a recent laptop with inegrated graphic card: NVIDIA Optimus Graphics (NVS 5400M, 1GB)

Can you try "testrendercopyex --renderer opengles" ?

Also, what do you get from: glxinfo | grep es2

I get:
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_create_context_es_profile, 
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_create_context_es_profile, 
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_create_context_es_profile,

I give you the information in a couple of hours !

glxinfo | grep es2, is a little different :
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB, 
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_fbconfig_packed_float, 
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB, 


./testrendercopyex --renderer opengles
is not working. And fails the same way as my other app.

Error message I got is : "Couldn't create renderer: Unknown OpenGL context profile 32649"

the word "GLXBadProfileARB" comes from error handler "x11_error_locale".
(src/video/x11/SDL_x11opengl.c)


(Seems a still the pb with locale conversion).

ignore the "locale" stuff.

I have the two errors in cascade : 

Could not create GL context: GLXBadProfileARB
Couldn't create renderer: Unknown OpenGL context profile 32540


see the attached file logging all : 

./testrendercopyex --renderer opengles --log all

Comment out https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/8ca9ce569f65/src/video/x11/SDL_x11opengl.c#l388

And let me know if that solves the problem.

yes,  if I comment this line, it works !

Do you use nvidia's binaries? which version? We were assuming having the GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension is enough to create a ES context, it seems that's not the case.
Gotta love cross platform development, even on the same architecture with the same drivers, you still have problems :)

I am not sure of what I have :) I don't remember to have been to nvidia downloading it !
Below is the list of packages.

Also, my SDL lib is compiled with renderer : software/opengl/opengles/opengles2
(software/opengl/opengles2) are working correctly.

I am reporting the problem only because of the other ticket of rendercopyex issue!

I know the Nvidia Optimus line is tricky to get running properly on Linux, so who know what drivers you are running :)

Anyway, I'll get this particular issue fixed.

This issue is probably too old. I don't see it anymore.

This appears to have been fixed.
