I generally agree with this, except that the point about very cryptic 
failure modes is so true.

This needs to be fixed in Mesa drivers - if there is a mismatch or an 
error of some sort it should be reported.

For example, why does it take LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose (and not even 
LIBGL_DEBUG=1) to diagnose the issue of absent *_dri.so library or wrong 
permissions on /dev/dri/cardX ?

                              best
