           Summary: glXGetScreenDriver doesn't report the same driver name
                    as used in ~/.drirc
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: GLX
        AssignedTo: mesa-dev at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: neil at linux.intel.com


On my GM45 system, glXGetScreenDriver reports "i965" but the driver needed in
the ~/.drirc config file is "dri2". The driver name passed to
driParseConfigFiles from dri2CreateNewScreen is hardcoded as "dri2".

There is a GUI tool called driconf which is meant to help edit the ~/.drirc
file. However it doesn't work because it gets the name of the driver by calling
xdriinfo which calls glXGetScreenDriver. I'm not sure what the correct
behaviour here is but my gut feeling is that driParseCongfileFiles should be
being passed "i965" instead of "dri2".
