Description skodde 2016-04-06 04:44:43 UTC 
With the patches for bug #93261 (I guess only [os: Treat ssh as a non-local client (v4)]) DRI/DRI2 over ssh is now broken.
There are legitimate and (once) perfectly working scenarios where one would want DRI/DRI2 over ssh (e.g. containers running players/browsers with accelerated video support or opengl applications, etc.).
If I'm not missing any obvious solution, this patch should be reverted or non local clients explicitly allowed to use DRI/DRI2.

Some indicative output:

$ vainfo 
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
libva info: VA-API version 0.36.0
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (DRI2)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (DRI2Connect)
  Serial number of failed request:  11
  Current serial number in output stream:  11

$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears 
libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable

Thanks.
