Asphyre Sphinx 3.0.0 has been released.

Okay, I just tried it with my Xubuntu 12.04 64bit. Version 3.0.1 worked fine. This is what I receive for all examples on the terminal (even after newly compiled):

The program 'Shapes' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 418 error_code 8 request_code 135 minor_code 5)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

None of the examples works now for me. I thought you might need to know this.

Seems this is a problem of NVIDIA blob(currently your videocard is GeForce 8600GT?) and initializing OpenGL context with custom options, when you use already created window with unknown visualinfo. Try to open XGLDevices.pas and replace line 168 with this one:

GLX_BLUE_SIZE, 8, GLX_ALPHA_SIZE, 0, GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER, GL_TRUE,

here main change is GLX_ALPHA_SIZE, 0

Thanks Andru, that helped and now it works.

Thanks for reporting this, I'm going to change the source code to remove the alpha attribute.
