KiCad: "Could not use OpenGL, falling back to software rendering"



I'm trying to start using KiCad 8.0.2 from the packages, but when I try
to open a schematic I started with KiCad 7 up pops a modal dialog box
with the message in the title above. That line is followed by "Could
not create the main OpenGL context" and an OK button. Clicking on the
OK button, or the X in the northeast corner of the dialog box, or the
one in the corner of the main KiCad window all do nothing, but "pkill
kicad" works.

set$ uname -a
NetBSD set 10.0_STABLE NetBSD 10.0_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Wed Jul  3

mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC
amd64 set$ 

For X11 I just add "xdm=YES xfs=YES" to rc.conf and use ctwm "right out
of the box". The machine is an old ThinkPad T440s with an Intel i915
that I've been using like this for years.

Is there a step I've missed in my configuration or is this something
that will need to be fixed upstream?
