That's bug 23335, but you probably don't want to be using indirect rendering in the first place.

I didn't even realise I was using indirect rendering

Is there a way I can check what's falling back to software?

I could then perhaps try and implement those pieces of entice someone more capable

I'm running a similar environment with 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 and Jan 4 PPA updates. I'm getting apparently a very similar problem trying to run Alpha Centauri (16-bit depth app). If I try to run it on a depth 32 screen I get

wine drive_c/Program\ Files/Firaxis\ Games/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Alpha\ Centauri/terran.exe

If I try to run it on a temporary 16bit depth X instance, then I get

However glxinfo seens to think DRI is running (as does the X.log)
