"LLVM" is not the right pattern to match because there are now accelerated Gallium drivers those also report "LLVM" in the render string, e.g. VMWare and Radeon. For example, this bug that showed up recently: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91747#c3 Gallium drivers may fall back to the Gallium Draw module for certain operations, and the Draw module can go down an LLVM path if necessarily and enabled. I think the original intention of this check is to catch "llvmpipe" driver, so I've attached a patch to do just that. Also, instead of matching "on softpipe", it seems that "softpipe" is sufficient. FYI, this fix can hopefully end up in Ubuntu 14.04 onwards. Unfortunately, I can't get through my company's proxy to push my branch, so instead of a merge request, please see the patch attached.
