Description Matthias Hopf 2004-10-04 08:54:02 UTC 
If you do not have the according rights to access /dev/dri/card* directly, 
OpenGL applications should default to indirect rendering. On some machines, the 
application segfaults instead (or does other funky stuff).

Not easy to reproduce. Seems to depend on a lot of configuration and application 
details. However, fix is pending. This is closely related to bug #1501.

Egbert updated his patch to the same level. I had opened a new bug because 
different source files had been affected and the effect looked different.

Let's keep it simple and close this one.
