Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mesa-utils

I have installed the proprietary fglrx drivers, and they are working
correctly.  The command fglrxinfo is correct, but glxinfo is incorrect:

$ fglrxinfo 
  display: :0.0  screen: 0
  OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
  OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300
  OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release

$ glxinfo | head -n5
  name of display: :0.0
  display: :0  screen: 0
  direct rendering: Yes
  server glx vendor string: SGI
  server glx version string: 1.2

glxinfo is reporting the vendor as SGI.  This is a bug because some
applications (e.g. flash) use the glx vendor string to determine if
hardware support is available
(http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gpu.html).
If the output of the vendor string is SGI, it assumes that hardware
support is not enabled.

I am running Ubuntu 8.04
mesa-utils version Installed: 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3
