Hi!

Not really. I just asked a friend of mine who also has an XP PC. But it's
also an onboard NVidia system, so I expect a crash report within the next
hour or so. I have no further PCs with non-NVidia to test. And I don't
know what is the problem (and I could not further google around this
week). There were some intermittent OpenGL problems since November, with
all this Qt with/without
Angle/nativeOpenGL/MSVC2010/MSVC2012/MSVC2013/MinGW, it was very
confusing, and I always had hoped somebody deeper familiar with OpenGL
would solve the technical issues completely ...

Barry replied to my call, but he tested his Intel PCs with the MESA
version, so it's no wonder it worked for him.

It's a stupid situation. Somewhere I have read the Angle is supported on
WinVista/7/8 only, the MESA emulation is slow, and the native OpenGL
crashes. Personally, I can live with losing XP support, but worldwide
there are about 25% of PCs still with XP, this is an enormous number of
users, and I fear many of them in education, it would be bad to lose them.

Kind regards,
Georg
