Prebuilt Xvnc does not support GLX extention

[Patrick Herbst]

when using the prebuilt Xvnc provided by tigervnc, it cannot provide a GLX extention.

when running

Xvnc :5 -verbose

i see errors

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver swrast
(EE) GLX: could not load software renderer
(II) GLX: no usable GL providers found for screen 0

Looks like it is hardcoded to try to load /usr/lib64/swrast_dri.so.  This file is in a different location in my distribution.  Is there a way to set this path at runtime?

Which packaging was this? The general .tar.gz one?

If so, then a compatible swrast_dri.so should have been included. You
just need to make sure everything is unpacked directly in / so that the
files end up where expected.

No, I think that's completely hard-coded.
