KDM with XGL used to start KDE issues

Hi,
I don't know if this problem was ever mentioned but if XGL/KDE is started from KDM using XGL http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl … M_uses_XGL there is no possibility to run OpenGL apps even with DISPLAY=:0 added. All attempts end with

Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get fbconfig

while if I follow second method,  New KDM entry starts KDE with XGL, I'm able to run all apps.

Since I don't like issues which come with second option and I would like to run software like Google Earth I'm looking for answer if someone have solution how to fix this problem.

Thanks.
