direct rendering inaccessible to Linux programs?

[Mikhail Teterin]

Hello!

I have the following strange situation. The native programs seem to have 
access to direct-rendering:

mi at aldan:~ (1007) glxinfo | grep -i direct
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x62
direct rendering: Yes

but the Linux ones don't:

mi at aldan:~ (1008) /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo | grep -i direct
libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

What am I missing? I just (re-)installed graphics/linux_dri, but it did not 
help. Thanks!
