Reporter:	Julien Celle	Email Updates:
Status:	Duplicate	Impact on me:	None

Description:
Hi,

I have a problem using MySQL workbench on all 5.2 versions: no OpenGL is detected and so Native rendering is used. I have seen a couple of persons under windows who had this problem, no solutions for linux. It seems mysqlwb does not detect opengl even though it is correctly installed. I am using drivers from NVidia and have full 3D acceleration for all my other programs. 
I have enclosed in this message the output of MySQL Workbench system's information as well as output from glxinfo. Let me know if you need more.
Thanks,

JC.

MySQL Workbench configuration:

Configuration Directory: /root/.mysql/workbench
Data Directory: /opt/local/mysqlwb.5.2.31a/share/mysql-workbench
Cairo Version: 1.8.10
Rendering Mode: OpenGL is not available on this system, so Native is used for rendering.
OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64
CPU: 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU       M 520  @ 2.40GHz 1199.000 MHz, 3,7 GB RAM

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
n/a

I trace this problem to that function std::string mdc::detect_opengl_version()
as it is defined in library/canvas/src/gtk/mdc_gtk_canvas_view.cpp which always returns an empty string.

Moreover, it seems that, on my configuration, calling glXQueryVersion in that function always returns null and I don't really know why.
Is the OpenGL/GLX context initialized at that time ?

Thanks,

Julien

I can confirm this bug with 5.2.33.

Also, here are some simple tests for glX:

// gcc glx.c -oglx -lX11 -lGL && ./glx

#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/X.h>
#include <GL/glx.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	Display *d = XOpenDisplay(NULL);

	int minor = -1, major = -1;
	Bool b = glXQueryVersion(d, &minor, &major);
	printf("glX=%s, minor=%d, major=%d\n", b?"true":"false", minor, major);

	XCloseDisplay(d);

	return 0;
}

// gcc glx-gdk.c -oglx-gdk `pkg-config gdk-2.0 --libs --cflags` -lGL && ./glx-gdk

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
#include <GL/glx.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	gdk_init(&argc, &argv);

	int minor = -1, major = -1;
	Bool b = glXQueryVersion(gdk_display, &minor, &major);
	printf("glX=%s, minor=%d, major=%d\n", b?"true":"false", minor, major);

	return 0;
}

They both returned true on my machine.
