For me - not entirely, but definitely it is better than the current
implementation. If you run KiCad for the first time and select 'Enable
hardware acceleration' on a machine that does not support OpenGL, it
switches to Cairo (correctly). Then, when you turn off KiCad, it will
save OpenGL as the default canvas and you will not be able to run pcbnew
again until you manually modify the configuration files (or remove them).

I will have another trial at fixing the problem, finally I have an
environment where I can test different solutions.

Cheers,
Orson
