I have discussed this issue with upstream. He already fixed this in his Git repository but a possible new release cannot work in Debian because our libsdl-perl is too old. My plan is to apply the patch and disable the pre-rendering of textures on install, which is not required when efficient shaders can be used. I might add a versioned dependency on MESA, but dizzy _can_ work with older MESA versions, albeit slower. I want to wait until the dust from the ongoing MESA changes in unstable settles down though. I do not even have GL working on my netbook at the moment.
