        <para>
            <function>glXQueryVersion</function> returns the major and minor version numbers of the GLX extension
            implemented by the server associated with connection <parameter>dpy</parameter>.
            Implementations with the same major version number are upward compatible,
            meaning that the implementation with the higher minor number is a superset
            of the version with the lower minor number.

            <parameter>major</parameter> and <parameter>minor</parameter> do not return values if they are specified as
