It means any program based on OpenGL will work in some scenarios, but not in 
others:

Plain Framebuffer: no

Framebuffer with Mesa: yes

Local X11 session: yes (Mesa will decide whether to use hardware or software 
rendering)

Remote X11 via Krdf as Server to any VNC-Client: yes (no matter whether the 
X11 uses HW or SW rendering, i just tried it again)

NX: apparently no

xrdp session server: no (just tried)

What I do not understand yet is: Mesa is able to do software rendering if it 
has an RGB visual. When I connected to xrdp I had a 24bit visual and 
xdpyinfo reports the GLX extension is loaded, but glx* complained of not 
having an RGB or GLX visual.

Is there a mesa expert here who can explain how to make mesa work on these 
visuals?
