           Summary: Missing dri rights may let application crash
           Product: DRI
           Version: XOrg CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libGL
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If you do not have the according rights to access /dev/dri/card* directly, 
OpenGL applications should default to indirect rendering. On some machines, the 
application segfaults instead (or does other funky stuff).

Not easy to reproduce. Seems to depend on a lot of configuration and application 
details. However, fix is pending. This is closely related to bug #1501.
