Comment 7 for bug 1641264

I just tried version 1:5.3.0~rc3-0ubuntu1~xenial1.1.

Now I don't get a crash any longer, but I get this message:

soffice.bin: Couldn't find current GLX or EGL context.

A little googling and it seems that this error is due to my OpenGL version:

$ glxinfo | grep version
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.4
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.131
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 NVIDIA 304.131 304.131
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.00

This is an older machine with an AGP card.

Does libreoffice now require OpenGL 3?

Without OpenGL rendering, the GUI drawing is painfully slow and "Use hardware acceleration" and "Use anti-aliasing" options make no difference.
