This doesn't surprise me. Mesa is a software renderer so it doesn't need a window. However, in order to use the hardware renderer, the information needs to go to VRAM, which means it needs a window to be associated with. There may be a way to use strictly software rendering to avoid the window, but I'm not sure. > Other than that if (1) above is an acceptable option, this is really > easy to do right away.
