Summary: glEndList gives error on virtual machine.

Initial Comment:
When I try to run the OpenGL demo GLUT/gears.py, I get the following traceback:


OpenGL Warning: XGetVisualInfo returned 0 visuals for 0x98cb2a8
OpenGL Warning: Retry with 0xd4 returned 1 visuals
OpenGL Warning: XGetVisualInfo returned 0 visuals for 0x98cb2a8
OpenGL Warning: Retry with 0xd4 returned 1 visuals
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gears.py", line 264, in <module>
      init()
      File "gears.py", line 234, in init
      glEndList()
      File "errorchecker.pyx", line 50, in OpenGL_accelerate.errorchecker._ErrorChecker.glCheckError (src/errorchecker.c:1050)
      OpenGL.error.GLError: GLError(
             err = 1280,
             description = 'invalid enumerant',
             baseOperation = glEndList,
             cArguments = ()
      )

I get the same error in my own code, but this is probably a better example to track the bug.

Any idea what is causing this?

Message:
It *appears* to be VirtualBox error:

  https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6848

with the last comment implying using:

  LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 python gears.py

to test if this is the same issue (if it is, then that should cause it to
work).

Message:
Adding: 

  OpenGL.ERROR_CHECKING = False

fixed the problem and the code runs fine.  I suspect a bug in the error
checking code, maybe a type conversion?

Message:
A call to glIsList(gear1) just after line 230 returns GL_FALSE, if that
helps at all.
