Ok,

I found out, that the glContext is getting somehow created wrong.
It is created with

glxContext = glXCreateContextWithConfigSGIX(mGLDisplay, fbConfig,
renderType, shareList, direct);

having direct alwasy be True and renderType GLX_RGBA_TYPE.
Changing direct to False it gets a bit further and glGetString returns
the requested information. (Then it still crashes with some framebuffer
related message which I haven't looked at yet).

Can someone explain to me what the last parameter of
glXCreateContextWithConfigSGIX is for and why True is not working here?
glxContext is not NULL when True was specified.
