Hi,

I was just struggling with the problem of starting compiz while having
to use LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT environment variable.

In our packages we have a patch that means we do not need to set this
variable as it searches also the glxServerExtensions.

This is not my patch but it is quite well known, so tracking the
original author will not be difficult!

Here is a link to the patch:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/compiz/current/SOURCES/0001-Also-check-for-tfp-in-server-extensions-rediff.txt?revision=HEAD&view=markup

Here is some info/background on the issue:

Thanks to Olivier Blin for being patient with me on IRC last night
concerning this issue.

Feedback appreciated.

Col
