those are usually missing extensions and/or old versions of GLX
support in the swrast code paths in Mesa. Clutter (and Cogl) already
have feature negotiation through the GL API
admittedly, the non-llvmpipe rasterizer hasn't seen as much work as
the llvmpipe-based one, so I guess it's a matter of resources required
to be allocated towards fixing the old swrast code path.
ciao,
Emmanuele.
