Closing invalid.
Ok, it is probably issue of the distribution. Still, Wine could check for absense of DRI support and display some warning about it (trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering enabled: False is not descriptive enough).
I have thought about turning it into a warning in the past but there are a lot of valid cases where you use indirect rendering. Indirect rendering doesn't have to mean 'slow'. For instance when you use a composition manager like compiz and don't run apps fullscreen you are using indirect rendering. You also use indirect rendering when you use remote X.
