After Installing the Packages

After installing the packages, do the following:

1. Exit the window system and restart it so that the window system loads the newly installed GLX server extension.

2. To verify that the OpenGL libraries are installed correctly, run ogl_install_check.

   The ogl_install_check test program prints the version of the OpenGL library and renderer used, and renders a rotating wheel. The program returns the following output when it is run on an UltraSPARC Creator3D:

For diagnostic purposes, the following values should be noted anytime that Solaris OpenGL problems are seen:
