Just FYI. Tried to boot both joyride-2207 and joyride-2210 (the devel-ext3 variant) on qemu (on win XP/SP2) but both fail with the same error: ------------ (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/sri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Fatal server error: GLX: could not load software rendered giving up. ------------- Is this something specific for emulation ???
