Linux DRI falls back to software rendering when no appropriate =20
environment is found (like on my machine). It is the only port where I =20
don't care about the status until we switched to a new default. But =20
it's a port which we need to fix after the transition.

Yes, but if acroread and skype runs ("productivity applications"), the =20
