Well, because x11 is bad, always and no exceptions.
gl either is really good or makes it really obvious that something is wrong.
My impression was that a lot of people end up using x11 because the forgot
to install the xv headers.
I'd like to void defaulting to OpenGL when software rendering is in use,
however I don't know for sure how to detect that reliably.
Could you send the output of glxinfo on your machine?
