Currently the offscreen OpenGL context is created via GLX, so this needs some X11 display. Headless workaround is using Xvfb or Xvnc.

With EGL that would not be needed anymore as EGL+Mesa should be able to create offscreen contexts even on Linux console without X11 or Wayland.

Biggest problems seems to be that glew seems to support EGL only in special builds and for example normal builds on Debian are GLX only.
