Bug 503524 – app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-opengl-20131008 should include newer Mesa libraries

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description tpeland 2014-03-05 18:06:50 UTC]

app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-opengl needs to include newer Mesa libraries.

While using app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-opengl-20131008 with Intel display hardware the display system will usually cause hangs after 30-60 minutes in 32 bit opengl programs. This is a known problem in older mesa-libraries with Intel hardware. The problem has been reported to been fixed in mesa 9.2.5. (possibly earlier...)

The problem as seen in the system log.

Older version emul-linux-x86-opengl-20130224 is not a solution as that one causes crash at the start of my test program (Guild Wars 2 + Wine 1.6).


Too bad that these 32bit libraries are released only as a binary blob. Testing newer libraries isn't easy this way.

The emul-linux-x86 packages have been removed.
