Created attachment 9371 Glxinfo
I'm running a GeForce 7100 with the last 304.137 nvidia closed drivers (and X.org 1.19). After three days of rolling back my whole system, finding it was xfwm4, fighting against the git tree and the tarballs being pretty messy with files at least around 4.13.2, and whatnot.. I could only come up with e07574d6 as the offending commit. ... Which promptly made me realize I just needed to switch vblank mode as per bug 15325...
So long story short GLX is not working. Now, putting aside that I wouldn't really know whether that would result in better results than Xpresent or not
I choose this title for the bug report because it wouldn't be bad to get that fixed.. But if not at least some mechanism could be put in place for people not ending up with a broken desktop.
There are no relevant messages at all in the usual places (dmesg, x.org.0, xsession-errors) so that's why I cannot give away any more "tangible data". After giving a quick look at the source code, one wonder that came to my mind is whether, being this hardware limited to GL 2.1 (and you not using any shader/glsl), you aren't just forgetting to call glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) on init.
