Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #4598, comment 4

initial	v1
1	1	First of all, you should NEVER run tests via ssh. Test should be ran from a local session.
2	2
3		Second, any library depending on Mesa (libGL, libGLESv2, libEGL) require working DRI installation at runtime (and running tests = runtime) and that means that X server should be running locally with DRI2 enabled and at least OGL 3.0 for all tests to ~~fail. Check glxinfo output for OpenGL version string or see an example on the Xorg Configuration pag~~e.
	3	Second, any library depending on Mesa (libGL, libGLESv2, libEGL) require working DRI installation at runtime (and running tests = runtime) and that means that X server should be running locally with DRI2 enabled and at least OGL 3.0 for all tests to pass. Check glxinfo output for OpenGL version string or see an example on the Xorg Configuration page. It worked fine on my sandybridge system when I tried it last time.

5	5	Third, but not related. I believe that running tests is a waste of time. They are not called "regression tests" without a reason. It could mean it's there for developer to check if he/she broke something with some new changes. Just take GCC test suite for example, for every fix there's a regression test so that DEVELOPER can't introduce the bug AGAIN. If you break something as an user, you'll know soon enough :)
