Thanks for the explanation, so I can commit, and will certainly also do a 
maintenance update for Leap 42.3

The software rendering, is still interesting I guess in case of Terminal 
service for example, but as don't have a real need for it yet I can bypass 
completely.

I've seen that Yast2 the management tool is able to switch from direct opengl 
to sw_render if no opengl is found (like for an ssh session)
Perhaps there's an interest also for GCompris, so in one build we have 
something that degrade gracefully ? Hey I've don't check the code nor know 
what this imply too ;-)) just gratis ideas :-)
