Would it be possible to backport this patch? > It may be possible to backport this. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as it should be. I believe the version of the OpenGL libraries in the platform are before the low-level bindings were factored out of the high level packages. This means that I don't know if the the release that needs the backport is even in the repository history. >From my point of view, it would be ideal if the HP could use the most recent versions of the OpenGL packages.
