Comment (by pbennett):

 I am using ubuntu 16.04. Xorg.log shows version as X.Org X Server 1.18.4.
 Mesa libraries look like they are 12.0.6. Maybe I need a newer version?

 My plan is to use only ubuntu LTS versions, the next one is 18.04.

 I have an Intel VGA controller in a laptop, maybe that would work, so that
 I don't have to switch VGA cards in another machine to the old ATI adapter
 that may or may not support glamor.

 Looking at some web sites it seems that glamor is for OpenGL. Does it work
 for you if you select OpenGL video playback?
