I can't see any place in Xgl where you dlopen libGL and copy the
symbols out of it and into your dispatch table. Xgl now contains the
glGetString symbol. When glitz tries to use glGetString it gets the
Xgl implementation of glGetString instead of the libGL one.

The Xgl displatch table needs to default to passing these calls onto
libGL unless it is a remote call and the table has been overwritten
with the GLX versions. I don't think you initially filled the dispatch
table with the libGL version of the calls so you are just getting the
default table of noop implementations. You have to dlopen(libGL) and
get the symbols explicitly otherwise you'll get the Xgl versions.
