Comment 68 for bug 1641264

We can check for this in the GLEW init and return false if we fail (all well and good) - but then that is not actually checked:

rtl::Reference<OpenGLContext> X11OpenGLSalGraphicsImpl::CreateWinContext()
{
    X11WindowProvider *pProvider = dynamic_cast<X11WindowProvider*>(mrParent.m_pFrame);

    if( !pProvider )
        return nullptr;

    Window aWin = pProvider->GetX11Window();
    rtl::Reference<OpenGLContext> pContext = OpenGLContext::Create();
    pContext->setVCLOnly();
    pContext->init( mrParent.GetXDisplay(), aWin,
                    mrParent.m_nXScreen.getXScreen() );
    return pContext;
}

Which is lame ... I guess we should be doing this inside:

bool OpenGLHelper::isVCLOpenGLEnabled()

To check whether we can in fact initialize this (or not) before we get much further. If this method returns true - we assume that we can get GL up and running; so we need to do a deeper probe and sanity check in there (I guess).

Hmm =) shouldn't be too hard I hope. Still - I'm glad the crash handler is doing its job nicely for you.
