Scaled texture quality problem might be caused by
GLX_EXT_framebuffer_object extension not being supported when using
indirect rendering. This means that mipmap filter can't be used with
pixmaps bound to textures.

GLX_SGI_video_sync extensions is used for vsync and that extension will
only work properly with direct rendering.
