Odd. The glXMakeCurrent manpage says:

       GLXBadContext is generated if ctx is not a valid GLX context.

But there don't appear to be any errors regarding the
glXCreateContext() call, and both are created using the same
XVisualInfo structure.

Could you debug this?

Once NVIZ is running, get its PID, then:

	$ gdb $GISBASE/etc/nviz2.2/nviz
	> attach <pid>
	> break Create_OS_Ctx
	> cont

Selecting the menu option will re-enter the debugger. Single-step
through the function (with "next"), printing out the values of any
variables as they are assigned.
