mesa driver error

[marki]

I'm getting the following error from glxgears on two independent Fedora Core 6 installations:

libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

This seems correlated to a problem I am seeing doing visualization with OpenGL in the GEANT4 , although it does not seem to cause a problem with glxgears itself.

If I run on the same machine, but remotely via ssh with X forwarding, the error does not occur. Same binary, same commands, same cpu, different X display.

I've seen this error posted in several places. It does not seem specific to Fedora, and does not seem to be limited to specific graphics cards. I notice that the version of mesa FC6 has seems rather recent. All of the stuff involved is from the FC6 distribution via rpm's. I am fully updated, yum-wise. In the postings I've seen, the problem was solved in recent version of mesa, and I would have thought that this version is recent enough.

Here are the versions:

mesa-libGL-6.5.1-8.fc6
mesa-libGLU-6.5.1-8.fc6
mesa-libGL-devel-6.5.1-8.fc6
mesa-libGLU-devel-6.5.1-8.fc6
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.1.fc6

For what it is worth, I am using the i810 driver with an

Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

(from lspci).

Do others see this? Hints?

I forgot to give a URL for a discussion of this issue on the mesa bugzilla site:
