Alternatively you could try to use the llvm compiled software renderer
by launching drracket with environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE
set to "yes". After that glxinfo should say:

OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.4.2
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30

But at least in my case (Core 2 Duo T9300) it's horribly slow even
with the spinning cube example. But still useful for producing single
frames, if that's any use to you.

For what it's worth, you need at least 2. generation Intel Core CPU,
any AMD APU, Radeon HD 2xxx, or Geforce 8100 to get OpenGL 3+.
