I had the same issue on an Arch Linux box. I had to do two things to solve all the issues:

1. Install mesa-demos. This is the Arch Linux package which contains glxinfo:

   $ sudo pacman -S mesa-demos
   

2. Run the emulator with the -use-system-libs flag:

   $ emulator -avd  -use-system-libs
   

   To enable this behavior in Android Studio, I set the ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS enviornment variable in ~/.zshrc.

   export ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1
   

   You can also set this in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc. In all of these cases, you will have to start Android Studio from the command-line. Alternatively, you can set it in ~/.pam_environment to be able to start Android Studio from a desktop launcher:

   ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1
