Here's an example of how to detect X server extensions: http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/programs/xdpyinfo/xdpyinfo.c?rev=1.9&view=markup
Look at the print_extension_info() function. Walking through the extensions list looking for "GLX" should do the trick.

Also, if all the GL hacks can detect that my display doesn't support the GLX extension that they need, how come XScreensaver can't? And disable the GL hacks automatically?
That message is not being printed by the hacks; it's coming from deep in the bowels of libGL. I don't even know how to detect that.
