I've installed precise package[1] and it works fine on Quantal. So this is really a regression.

Confirmed to regress on i386 as well, if ever there was a doubt. The precise package does restore GLX compatibility on quantal.

Newer Xephyr versions don't add any external extensions. The version shipped in Precise had GLX extension activated unconditionally but now it looks like Xephyr does not have any code to run external extension initialization. Specifying +extension GLX won't help because the code that actually loads external extensions never runs.

The issue happens on Ubuntu quantal or raring with xserver-xephyr 1.13, installing the precise binary (1.12) makes it work

Confirmed, jcristau pointed to http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=ac1a60e7b6f06fd075cc5bf55d6bc67206a01d29 and mentioned it might be a similar issue.

I've tried that an indeed that fixes it, that patch applies to raring and fixes the bug for me

Could you provide that patch in git-format-patch form with an appropriate signed-off-by line?

sure, I guess the signed-off should have your name?

There you go!

It would hopefully have your name, assuming you're the author of the patch, indicating that you agree with the developer's certificate of origin (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches)

Thanks! It's on the list with a fixed up commit message, though it ended up at the *end* of a giant patch series I sent out. If that all gets stalled I'll try to make sure it makes it in anyway.
