[sergio at efilmsr ~]$ glxinfo | grep render
libGL error: failed to authenticate magic 6
libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo
direct rendering: Yes
    GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, 
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)
    GL_MESA_ycbcr_texture, GL_NV_blend_square, GL_NV_conditional_render,


seems good here, despite swrast load error .
