Subject: [Mesa-users] Suppressing the swrast error message
Message-ID: <0472eaa9-2761-5451-8b9b-f81b06c74a19@gmail.com>

I'm using XQuartz on MacOS as the local server, with the remote client 
running Ubuntu on old iMac hardware (with Intel graphics; some of 
glxinfo from the remote system shown below).

The remote system doesn't have a swrast driver, so I get the error message

   libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

every time an application first tries to open a window.  Is there a way 
to suppress this message?

Here's the beginning of glxinfo on the remote system:
