This one is a huge issue: first off, while I know a little bit about the XLib API, I wanted to test and make sure I could actually create an OpenGL rendering context (3.0) before I did anything, thus I just copied and pasted some test code and ran it.
When I run the code, my output is as follows:
GLX_ARB_get_proc_address GLX_ARB_multisample GLX_EXT_import_context GLX_EXT_visual_info GLX_EXT_visual_rating GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent GLX_MESA_swap_control GLX_OML_swap_method GLX_OML_sync_control GLX_SGI_make_current_read GLX_SGI_swap_control GLX_SGI_video_sync GLX_SGIS_multisample GLX_SGIX_fbconfig GLX_SGIX_pbuffer GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

According to this specification, my could should work - correct? If not, is there anything I can do about this to change it? Any forum post I've read about having issues like this has just been usually due to people who lack the proper implementations of OpenGL 3.x when trying to initialize context, which results in them having a similar output to the code I've tested.
I've also searched for various X11 packages for my distribution to see whether or not I may or may not be missing something by some off chance. Of course, this was futile as anything I did end up installing/changing either made things worse, or just plain didn't work.
