Although you probably will not consider this helpful, the first place to look 
is: in your sample.c

You haven't shown any evidence that the error message reported isn't correct 
i.e. your sample code is causing freeglut to ask for a visual which the server 
can't give it.

Looking at the source code for fgOpenWindow and fgChooseVisual [1], the 
specification of glXChooseVisual, the set of visuals available as listed by 
glxinfo and how your sample code configures freeglut would probably be 
informative...
