Yep. In general, all drawing should be done in the main thread.

If you really want to do your OpenGL based drawing in a separate thread, you 
can use platform dependent functions (GLX) to make your GL context the 
current context in that thread (glXGetCurrentContext, glXGetCurrentDrawable, 
SDL_GetWMInfo, glXMakeCurrent).
