Public bug reported:
In my laptop (Sony Vaio with nvidia vga) if I boot with Hardy (without
nvidia proprietary drivers installed) glxinfo says:
glxinfo|grep -i direct
direct rendering: No
but if I try to boot with a Jaunty live cd (obviously it starts without
nvidia proprietary drivers) glxinfo says:
glxinfo|grep -i direct
direct rendering: Yes
but it's obviously wrong. In fact if I try to run glxgears I see low
frames per second that indicates that there is no 3d available. The same
issue happens with a fully updated Jaunty installed on VirtualBox:
glxinfo always says direct rendering = yes even if in this situation I
have at least an info that informs me that something is wrong (OpenGL
Warning: Failed to connect to host: Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled
for this VM).
So in both situations (real or virtual hardware) direct rendering is
always Yes even if 3d is not enabled.
