"primus: warning: recreating incompatible pbuffer" on Oculus World demo

I'm trying to run the Oculus World demo using primusrun.

It works, but this error is spammed continuously (every frame I'd say) in the terminal:

primus: warning: recreating incompatible pbuffer

And the framerate is terrible. (~4fps)

It works fine with the Intel graphics (40fps) and with optirun (50fps)

I'm running Arch Linux on GNOME 3.14.3, xorg-server 1.16.3-2, primus 20150118-2. Everything is latest version (if you need to know the version of anything else just ask) uname, lspci, glxinfo here: https://dirbaio.net/d/paste/13bc2bcdefafa1a2.txt

I'm quite stuck here. I'd really love to run Oculus with primus, since 50fps is not enough for a great VR experience. Any help on how to debug this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Some more info: If I comment out these lines the issue goes away! https://github.com/amonakov/primus/blob/7e21554eb298ad56e164faa81e0492368afc66ac/libglfork.cpp#L666-672

There are seemingly no adverse effects, but I guess these lines have a reason to be there, so this is obviously not a good fix.

Does this problem appear with other demos?

Could you capture a trace with apitrace?

Since you're able to try it now, how's performance and latency? Does PRIMUS_SYNC=1 make a noticeable difference?
