+# This is a very dirty hack to allow hardware acceleration of OpenGL
+# applications for most (?) users.  It will use the driver that your
+# Linux distribution installed in /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.  Hopefully,
+# this driver uses hardware acceleration.
+#
+# Of course, use of the driver in /usr/lib is highly impure.  But it
+# might actually work ;-)
