Ok, thanks, that helped a lot. This means that mesa has problems with dlopen()ing libGL.so (which we do). Further investigations showed that apparently RTLD_GLOBAL is required as dlopen() flag for mesa's libGL.so - QLibrary (which we use for loading libGL.so) does not specify this flag, so it may indeed be the cause of this problem. I have just committed a patch to boson subversion which loads libGL.so manually using dlopen() and provides the RTLD_GLOBAL flag, so it _might_ be fixed now. However I cannot test this myself, as both of my systems have NVidia cards and thus I don't have DRI drivers that support direct rendering anyway. Could you try to compile current boson subversion and see if the problem still exists? CU Andi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
