Strange, looking at the code and the output from glxinfo I would guess
that I should be recognised.

The unix code for checking acceleration is:

int CheckAccelerated(GtkWidget* board)
{
        Display* display = glXGetCurrentDisplay();
        GLXContext context = glXGetCurrentContext();
        if (!display || !context)
        {
                g_print("Unable to get current display information.\n");
                return 1;
        }
        return glXIsDirect(display, context);
}


The output from your glxinfo is:

name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation 
server glx version string: 1.3
.....

The question is why glXIsDirect returns FALSE when glxinfo claims that
there is direct rendering?!
