Bug#550549: gnome-games: Running sol fails with Error: glXCreateContext failed

[Sridhar M.A.]

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.26.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When I tried to run the Aislerot Solitaire from the menu, nothing came
up; no error message(s). Tried to run it from the terminal and this is
what I get :

$ sol
Error: glXCreateContext failed

(sol-clutter:6504): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to create suitable GL
context.
Failed to initialise clutter: Unable to realize the default stage
