Problems with simple openGL app

[Paul Ledbetter III]

Hello,
   I am having troubles running this simple openGL application on
FreeBSD 5.3.  The object of the code is simply to create a window and
clear it with the black color.  The code compiles fine, but when I run
the application, the outside of the window appears, but contains
whatever was on the screen before the window appears, and carries this
around if I move the window.   I am at a loss as to why this is
occuring.The program is this:

/* simple.c 

   Compiled with 
cc -I/usr/X11R6/include -c simple.c -o simple.o
cc  -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lX11 simple.o -o simple

*/

#include <GL/glut.h>

void display(void)
{
     glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
    
     glFlush();
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
     float box = 2.0;

     glutInit(&argc, argv);
     glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB);
     glutCreateWindow("simple");

     glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
     gluOrtho2D(-box, box, -box, box);



     glutDisplayFunc(display);
     glutMainLoop();

}


My glxinfo output is :

My video card is a radeon mobility.  I think the glx module is not
configured to use it, but I hope that is another issue.
