Ahh, this is the type of caveat I was hoping to hear ;) > But it may not be the case here. Could you check wheter glxinfo says > that direct rendering is enabled? You are correct, rendering is indirect! I was unaware that direct vs. indirect limited *GL* features. Why is that the case, and what can be done? I'm just using swrast right now, maybe softpipe in the future; I'm obviously not concerned with speed, I just need something that supports some extensions for use in a regression testing system.
