I'll try this when I get home and have a minute. FTR, here at work,
where the screensavers work just fine, I get this:
[mhr@mhullrichter ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
(I also noticed that glxinfo is /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo....)
