7 I don't think it's an application bug. I just made an experiment:
8 rebooted, logged in, ran ONLY glxinfo through grep (plus a few
9 applications that get launched through my X initialization file, none
10 of which make any use of OpenGL at all that I am aware of), logged
11 off, back on, and the same glxinfo again. Still, the second time
12 around I only get software rendering.
13
14 So if it is a bug, it's most likely not in any application that
15 utilizes OpenGL at least.
