[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#604602: GL graphics do not work

[Kjetil brinchmann Halvorsen]

Subject: base: GL graphics do not work
Package: base
Severity: important

Various programs using GL graphics (mesa) do not work. The graphic is not
rendered. One example:

I installed ballview with synaptic. It starts up, shows a screen, and
then disappears.

dmesg | tail contains:

[ 4410.631340] gnome-screensav[10833]: segfault at 4 ip
00007f5664f8ccae sp 00007fff0c29f9a0 error 4 in

(this is debian amd64)
( I tried twice as can be seen)

I aldo tried the game neverball, which doesn't work, and  glxinfo, which
segfaults:
