Description

@dimitre - curious if the shadows or assimp example works for you on your Rpi 4?
Where you using Bullseye version when you were testing?

I did a clean install today with 64bit Raspberry Pi OS ( Bullseye ) and had issues with any example that sets the GL version.
Was getting GLXBadFBConfig errors seeing to point to ubsupported GL version.

Some info here - seems like Pi 3 defaults to OpenGL ES while 4 defaults to OpenGL 4 ( capped at 2.1 )

Also in Bullseye you can't change the GL / Fake KMS driver like you can in prior versions.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shadows or assimp example on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye, using the GL versions described in the issue. Compare the behavior with the Pi 3 defaults and record whether GLXBadFBConfig occurs; done requires a confirmed compatibility path or a clearly documented limitation.
