Bug Description
Some broken drivers detect if an executable named 'compiz' is calling into the libGL
glXCreateContext, and force indirect rendering mode in this case. This breaks
OpenGL 2.1 support and false information is given to compiz about the level of
OpenGL support in this case. As such, a workaround should be added to prevent this from
happening
