local fundamental group of elliptic singularities

Is the local fundamental group of an elliptic singularity virtually solvable ? Here (the terminology is sometimes divergent) an elliptic singularity is a (germ of) normal surface $(X,x)$ such that $X$ is Gorenstein ($K_X$ is Cartier) and $R^1\pi_* \mathcal{O}_Y=\mathbb{C}_x$ where $\pi:Y\to X$ is a resolution of the singularity.

Equivalently: $\pi_*\omega_Y=m_x\omega_X$.

Thanks in advance, Benoit

To motivate my question, recall that the rational Gorenstein singularities of surfaces are exactly the ADE singularities and in this case the local fundamental group is finite. – Benoît Nov 3 at 9:00
