I am creating a X base window system that uses no code from lcl or the
fcl just Xlib,glx and opengl so far I can open multiple windows and
render opengl in all of them but I can't manage to get
glXCreateContextAttribsARB to work. if anyone has manage to get opengl
3.0 to work on an X window please help.  I'm using a geforce 8600 gt
which was originally design for 2.1 but after digging around the web
it seem that it has been upgraded to 3.0

well I managed to get glXCreateContextAttribsARB working but now I
have a headache. so I'll have to save the shaders for another day.
Thankyou Lazarus Team for the find in files. it is a great way to
figure out how to use those strange linux libs. and thankyou Andru
digging through the Zen code I was able to figure out the
glXChooseFBConfig comand. but I still had to do a weird type case to
get glXCreateContextAttribsARB to except it. I long for the day when
using linux libs is actually easy.
