Hmm...

| Description: A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- runtime
|  Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
|  that of OpenGL.  To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command
|  syntax or state machine, it is being used with authorization from
|  Silicon Graphics, Inc.  However, the author makes no claim that Mesa
|  is in any way a compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with
|  Silicon Graphics, Inc.
|  .
|  This library provides a pure software rasteriser; it does not provide
|  a direct rendering-capable library, or one which uses GLX.  For that,
|  please see libgl1-mesa-glx.
|  .
|  On Linux, this library is also known as libGL or libGL.so.1.

I'd say: Yes, you'll need it. Your card cannot support direct rendering, so 
you need a library that does in software what your card can't do in 
hardware. But that's only a guess based on the packet description.

How about running some simple OpenGL apps, like glxgears from mesa-utils 
package? Does this software work or do you get an error there as well?
