"x11 driver not configured with openGL" error when running program compiled with gl

[the_ultimate_samurai]

i can generally run opengl applications (glgears runs at like 550 fps) with little problem, however when i compile a program using openGL (more specifically opengl through SDL) i get the error message "driver x11 not configured with openGL"

i put a section in the modules section of my xorg.conf for GLcore and GLX but it doesnt help, says the modules are already built in. so i have no idea what the problem could be.

Your xserver is configured properly and is able to run OpenGL.

The version of SDL you use seems not. If you built SDL yourself, configure it again to include the GL(x) driver. Otherwise, ask the maintainers of your distribution how to get the GL enabled SDL package.
