It has nothing to do with AIGLX. In fact, if you set the LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT variable, forcing apps to use AIGLX, you will not get direct rendering.

It's simply that the software rasterizer included in Mesa these days supports direct rendering. If you disable AIGLX entirely in Xorg, but still use software rendering via Mesa, you still get direct rendering.
