You may want to try with:

    :; export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

that avoids the hardware opengl; mesa's software renderer may have what
you need, even if the i915 hardware driver does not.  Given your usage
description, it would seem that the possibly lower rendering speed would
not be an issue.

    :; env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 glxinfo

will show what your version of mesa supports in software mode.
