I don't think it's as simple as that. Mine is as follows, with boring
stuff cropped off the bottom. From the version string, I am using s/w
OpenGL, right? Mesa is a software implementation AFAIK. Which is kinda
annoying since I bought a pretty decent 3D accelerated card and it's not
exactly brand new any more.
Thank you for the correction. The machine here says
"direct rendering: no" but thinking of it, I already
disabled the dri module because it hangs the machine now
and then - very annoying. So the correct way is to check
the version string whenever DRI is available. Of course,
one can imagine another sw implementation than mesa,
but who would bother . . .
