Found the problem. It's just the GLX/EGL clients don't have correct
permissions configured to access /dev/dri/*

If you run your GLX apps with sudo, it works and you get full hardware
acceleration.

** Summary changed:

- GLX clients of Xmir get software rendered (LLVMpipe)
+ GLX/EGL X11 clients of Xmir get software rendered (LLVMpipe)
