This RedHat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=601773
(BadRequest from DRI2_Connect) has a note (from Owen Taylor at redhat)  saying:

If I'm reading that correctly, he is saying that DRI2Connect will always
fail.

So are programs like glxgears on a remote X server working for anyone?


Note, that from my standard F12 laptop (not an LTSP terminal), I can
"ssh -Y server glxgears" and glxgears will run fine (but slow).
