In my case, X thinks everything's OK, and no crashing problems (so
far, but I haven't gotten out of 2D mode) but I end up with indirect
rendering anyways.  I checked the archives and saw one reference
to someone having the same problem, but no resolution:

...and...

Any ideas what's happening here?  It's like it dies somewhere between
X and Mesa...
