This seems to be the case. It looks like X 4.0 uses the SGI based glX,
which therefore excludes the OSMesa functions. We will need a hack in
this glX.

This would be ideal! Otherwise we would need a wrapper around the glX
dispatcher that would not be nearly as efficient.

Yes, right. It turns out that the request is sensitive to the single or
double buffer parameter, and it's only available in a double buffer for
some reason.

It seems odd, but apparently our board only has stencils in double
buffer mode, according to glxinfo, or the current GeForce drivers only
support double buffered stencils.

We are the drivers that are packaged with the current (March)
distribution of XFree86 4.0. So I think that means the UtahGLX.
