While exploring whether old libXfont is still needed (for most modern desktops it is not - details to follow) I noted some problems with glxgears (it dies in some window managers).
After further testing, I assume something in Mesa (or, less likely, xorg-server) has changed. I failed to get a backtrace, and it works on my preferred wm so I'm merely noting that there seems to be a problem. It works fine in icewm, xfce, kf5+plasma. It eventually stops (usually after some moving, resizing, or overlaying some of it with another window) in fluxbox, openbox, sawfish, twm. Even in these, GL screensavers from xscreensaver, and the Gears screensaver, work fine. I recall that I tried to build the mesa-demos package a couple of years ago and failed totally, so I guess the code has bit-rotted. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
