Perhaps not, but: a) XFree86 4.2.1, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0 etc all had this capability and I see no reason why it needed to be removed. Especially since removing it breaks apps that require it. You have just killed OpenGL screensavers with the G400, for example, and goodness knows what else. You can play semantics and say it isn't a bug, but it is definitely a regression that will be very unpopular with a lot of Matrox users. b) The screensavers don't segfault because there's no suitable visual available. They seem to do so while trying to activate the indirect rendering instead. This is presumably why the rest of the OpenGL hacks flash the "libGL error: InitDriver failed" message on the screen and then run very slowly. And segfaults are always bugs.
