AFAICS the problem is that extension is supported (ARB_shader_objects),
but the app tries glxGetProcAddress with the wrong name first
(glCreateShaderObject), and if it returns NULL, then the app tries the
same name with the "ARB" suffix and gets the correct pointer. When
glXGetProcAddress returns non-NULL for the wrong name, the app just uses
the returned pointer, which leads to nowhere. You can view the code here
(see loadsym function) :
