Oh well, thanks for the answer and your time. However, I am still wondering how it can be that the problem does not occur when I write X11 code instead of SDL code. But finally I can get back to OpenGL development ;) Thanks again! > Actually, it's basically never a good idea to link the static libGL, it > might be better to not bother installing it in future builds since the > library is most certainly hardware-specific.
