OpenGL depth test is not working - c++

Question

I am trying to create a model using OpenGL, and I tried to enable depth testing.
I use these commands in my main:
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
And this in my display:
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
I even tried adding:
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);
And it doesn't work. I can still see what I think are depth problems.
Here is a video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OafrRH4Mzjc
Note: In that video, the board is build right to left, top to bottom, so the first angle is OK, but any other angle is bad.
What am I missing?

Answer 1

gluPerspective(50, width / height, 0, 20);
^ wat
zNear needs to be greater than zero (emphasis mine):
Depth buffer precision is affected by the values specified for zNear
and zFar. The greater the ratio of zFar to zNear is, the less
effective the depth buffer will be at distinguishing between surfaces
that are near each other.
If r = zFar / zNear roughtly log2(r) bits of depth buffer
precision are lost. Because r approaches infinity as zNear approaches 0, zNear must never be set to 0.
EDIT: Given the newly-posted MCVE:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
/* Creation of the window */
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH);
glutInitWindowSize(900, 600);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); // too soon
glutCreateWindow("Chess");
...
}
It's just like datenwolf said: You're glEnable()ing before you have a current GL context (glutCreateWindow() creates the context and makes it current).
Don't call any gl*() functions until after glutCreateWindow().

Answer 2

public void onSurfaceChanged(int w, int h)
{
Matrix.frustumM(projectionMatrix,0,-(9f/18.5f),(9f/18.5f),-1f,1f,1.0f,1000f);
}
I had to change my near clipping form 0.01f to 1.0f.
