Querying the GLX_RENDER_TYPE of a GLX context via glXQueryContext will currently return the render type of the context's FB config, which is a bitmask of GLX_RGBA_BIT / GLX_COLOR_INDEX_BIT / ... values. However, this query should really return the render type that was specified when creating the context, which is one of GLX_RGBA_TYPE / GLX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE / .... To enable this, save the render type when creating a new context (defaulting to GLX_RGBA_TYPE if unspecified), and then include this value in the context attributes sent to clients.
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
