Hmm. Then the error means only 3D acceleration is not working? I guessed the 
error means 2D acceleration (and thus EXA) is disabled 
too. The reason I stumbled on this error is that KWin desktop effects (KDE 4.2) 
did not work here, so I searched for a reason and found the AIGLX error.

Now I found the real reason. I had to switch composit type from OpenGL to 
XRender in the desktop settings. That was not obvious for me. Now I know 
better. Sorry for bothering you and thanks for you help.
