Almost certainly Mesa:

~/mesa% grep 'failed to create' src/glx/*.c
src/glx/dri2_glx.c:      ErrorMessageF("failed to create dri screen\n");
src/glx/drisw_glx.c:      ErrorMessageF("failed to create dri screen\n");
src/glx/glxcmds.c:         fprintf(stderr, "failed to create pixmap\n");
src/glx/glx_pbuffer.c:      fprintf(stderr, "failed to create drawable\n");

But getting to that point almost always means something else has gone
horribly wrong already.  What does 'glxinfo | grep renderer' say?
