I'm trying to render the typical OpenGL color triangle in a gamma correct way by following this guide and consulting the SDL2 documentation on how to enable SRGB support on the default framebuffer.
This is the code I've written, which draws the triangle:
#include <SDL.h>
// Header file generated with glLoadGen
#include "gl_core_3_3.h"
#include <cstdlib>
void sdl_loop(SDL_Window* window);
static const char* const vertexSource = R"(
#version 330
in vec2 position;
in vec3 color;
out vec3 vs_color;
void main()
{
gl_Position = vec4(position, 0.0, 1.0);
vs_color = color;
}
)";
static const char* const fragmentSource = R"(
#version 330
in vec3 vs_color;
out vec4 fragColor;
void main()
{
fragColor = vec4(vs_color, 1.0);
}
)";
static const float vertices[] = {

0.0f, 0.9f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f,
};
static const unsigned short indices[] = { 0, 1, 2 };

I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04 (with the HWE drivers) and the machine I'm using has both an Intel HD 4000 GPU and a dedicated nvidia GPU with Optimus. In theory, I should be getting an sRGB framebuffer. However, I'm getting an sRGB framebuffer only when running under the nvidia GPU or when using ApiTrace. If I'm running under the Intel GPU, I'm only getting an sRGB framebuffer if I specify a non-zero alpha size with SDL2. If I specify a zero size for alpha (or don't specify one at all), I'm getting a linear framebuffer instead.
This is how my example looks when running under the nvidia GPU (and the Intel GPU with a non-zero alpha bit size):
This is how it looks when running under the Intel GPU with a zero alpha bit size (sRGB incorrect):
And this is what I get with ApiTrace:
I also ran glxinfo -t and from what I can tell, I should be getting sRGB support even with zero alpha bits set (EDIT: That's not the case. The output of glxinfo should display ses in the sRGB column, but that doesn't happen for some reason or other):

Why am I not getting an sRGB framebuffer in that case? Is it possible that I have hit an Intel driver bug?
ses in the sRGB column of yourglxinfooutput. Theglxinfosource seems to indicate a.means sRGB is not supported. – Laurettaglxinfo -toutput from a VNC session withses in the sRGB column. – Laurettaglxinfowhile my nvidia GPU was running and I can actually seeses in the sRGB column. However, this doesn't seem to make sense: DirectX 10 mandates support for sRGB (i.e. since 2006), and I do actually get an sRGB framebuffer. Shouldn'tglxinfoshow that my Intel GPU does support sRGB natively? – Rupp
