Bug#547208: gnome-games: please add override for direct-rendering detection

[Eric Cooper]

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.26.3-1
Severity: wishlist

On my desktop I only have "partial" DRI support -- there is a limit of
2560x2560 for 3D rendering, and I have a dual-monitor setup that's
wider than that.  As a result, I can't play aisleriot on the right
half of my desktop, because it automatically starts sol-clutter.  I'd
like a way to force it to use sol-sdk, at least until DRI2 is
supported for my hardware.
