For your issue, the only way is to remove loading ~/.drirc from Mesa,

I think that would be the proverbial "throwing out the baby with the
bathwater". :)


making driconf useless. Do we really care about driconf? I don't think
so.

~/.drirc isn't only for driconf, it's also for allowing users (who may
not have write access to .../etc/drirc) to have their own persistent DRI
configuration.

One of the original problem was users not telling / knowing that they have bogus drirc values when providing data to Mesa developers.

What if Mesa would store drirc settings it loads/uses & from which files it read them, provide API for requesting that info and "glxinfo" would include that info to its output? Then one needs only to ask for "glxinfo" output to see relevant Mesa version and settings it uses.

This would allow you to see also bad settings from the global drirc.


Same thing should be output also by Mesa debug options and Mesa could output a warning about potentially stale user drirc file, if loaded user drirc is older than global drirc file.
