Bug Description

Clutter-using apps will fail to start with the software rasteriser with the message:
"""
failed to create drawable
Failed to initialise clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context
"""

swrast_dri.so is probably missing some GLX 1.3 stuff to make this work properly.

Why is this of low importance? It breaks all clutter applications on the default setup for basically everyone (nvidia and ati), right?

No, just for nvidia; ATi cards get 3D support out of the box.

Even if the software rasteriser worked for clutter you'd still get a
poor experience - the software rasteriser really isn't very fast. It'd
be nice if it failed in a less crashy way, but succeeding isn't much
better than failing.
