#50348: xorg-server, xorg-server-devel: add support for the GLX_ARB_create_profile
extension

-------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 GTK+ 3.16+ includes the GtkGLArea widget which allows custom drawing using
 OpenGL.  This widget relies on the GLX_ARB_create_profile extension to
 create core profiles.

 Current versions of xorg-server, xorg-server-devel and XQuartz do not seem
 to include support for this extension resulting in an error message when
 attempting to set up the widget.

 As an example, try running the OpenGL Area demo in gtk3-demo (installed by
 port gtk3).  Instead of rendering interactive OpenGL graphics, the message
 "The GLX_ARB_create_profile extension needed to create core profiles is
 not available" appears in the widgets drawing area.

 Is there any work in progress to add server side support for this
 extension?
