"Silicon Graphics" rang my bell but I was just unsure how they were related with "client glx vendor string" thing. That and why nvidia has something else than "SGI" makes sens to me now. > GLX is included in the Mesa tarball. You could change the vendor string > in /src/glx/x11/glxcmds.c (currently :static const char > __glXGLXClientVendorName[] = "SGI";). Great. I'll try to hack this, although I'm not sure to have the compiling skills... Thank you so much Philipp and Michel for your help and suggestions. This definitly cleared things up. I'll point this thread to Adobe.
