glX overlay

I've been trying to use GLX_LEVEL 1 with my graphics card my laptop
(ATI M11/9700). Using the latest ATI driver (released toward the end of
February) fglrx. I've specified the necessary option in the X config file.
I checked the visuals reported by glxinfo and I get 4 visuals listed with
level 1 and numerous with level 0.
I tried to use QT and it's overlay and failed (even with the example program
that uses an overlay). X doesn't produce any events which might help to
identify the cause.
I then wrote a glX program to use the overlay. I can get the visual
requested, make a context, but not successfully make that context current
(glXMakeCurrent)
Please can someone confirm if fglrx/GLX/X server should support this, and if
they've got it to work? I ask because I found some reference on various web
sites to say it's not supported, although this was more directed to xfree and
not xorg and made no reference to fglrx.
Regards,
Chris
