No.

This message should probably be downgraded from an error.

This message indicates that we wanted to use direct, 
hardware-accelerated OpenGL ('Windows-DRI'), but that the server didn't 
allow it.

This could be due to:
- server option -nowgl
- windowing mode doesn't permit wgl (i.e. not -multiwindow)
- display driver does not support WGL (i.e. the default VGA driver)
etc.
