Description Andrew 2012-03-10 09:00:41 UTC 
It may be my setup mistake, but glxinfo shows llvmpipe renderer instead of nouveau when launched from user account different from that which has X session running. Launching from root shows correct info.

Steps to reproduce:

# useradd llvmtest

# xhost +local:

# sudo -u llvmtest glxinfo | grep -E 'OpenGL (vendor|renderer)'
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe

# xhost -local:


Correct info:
OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NV43

xorg.conf absent, just mouse and keyboard config files are present.

Comment 1 Ben Skeggs 2012-03-12 00:38:45 UTC 
Yep, this isn't nouveau's fault.  You'll need an xorg.conf specifying appropriate permissions for the DRI option (see 'man xorg.conf') to "fix" this.
Comment 2 Andrew 2012-03-12 09:14:23 UTC 
You are right, sorry. It doesn't look obvious ;) I've added the other user to "video" group and it works.
