I've noticed I can run it with root but I should be able to run it as a normal user as well.

Do any other OpenGL apps operate properly when run as a user?

What video card/drivers are you using?

Any update here? This should just be a system config issue, not a code bug, but I'd like to make sure.

Closing due to:
 - lack of response from reporter
 - inability to reproduce
 - no additional reports of problem from others
