Hi,

when I worked with FreeCAD under Debian Squeeze in a virtual machine I got this error message:
FreeCAD: SoGLDisplayList.cpp:96: SoGLDisplayList::SoGLDisplayList(SoState*, SoGLDisplayList::Type, int, SbBool) Assertion versionstr && "glGetString() returned 0 -- no valid GL context?" failed.
After enabling 3D acceleration it again crashed only the very first time but with all further attempts everything works fine for me. So, could this be a 3D acceleration problem? This would explain why our test for OpenGL fails at startup but we run into the observed crash later. Any ideas?
