A1-X1000: Mesa 9.2.2-1 and 10.0.0-1

[xeno74]

Hi all,

I've tried Mesa 9.2.2-1 and 10.0.0-1 on Debian Sid. Unfortunately both have the wrong colour issue. Mesa 8.0.5-4 works very well and fast without the colour problem.

Installation of Mesa 8.0.X on new Debian and Ubuntu distributions

If you like to play games without the colour problem on your new Debian (Sid) and Lubuntu (13.10) distributions, then install the old Mesa 8.0.X with "Force Version" with the Synaptic package manager.

You have to reinstall 2 packages:

• libgl1-mesa-dri
• libgl1-mesa-glx

Enjoy the games without any problems on your new distributions.

Rgds,
Christian

Just for info: This bug report is important for the Cyrus boards, too.

Hi All,

I've hacked Mesa 10.0.3 and now it works with the right colors on Debian Sid and on Lubuntu 14.04. I've uploaded it.

Download: MesaLib-10.0.3-powerpc-unofficial.tar.bz2

Note: If you use (L)Ubuntu 12.04.4 or Debian 7 with Mesa  8.X or 9.1.X, you don't need the new Mesa. Mesa 10.0.3 is not faster  than Mesa 8.X or 9.1.X. It's only for new distributions like Debian Sid and Lubuntu 14.04.

Install instructions:

1. Unpack the archive MesaLib-10.0.3-powerpc-unofficial.tar.bz2

2. Copy it as root to the directory /usr/local/

Code: [Select]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=#4D4D4D]sudo cp -R mesa10 /usr/local/[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
3. Set up the new library path

Code: [Select]

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mesa10/lib[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
4. Test it with glxgears. When you see the correct colors then you use the new version of Mesa. After that you can start some games for example Neverball.

SuperTuxKart needs a special run_game.sh for the new Mesa:

Code: [Select]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=#4D4D4D]LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./bin/:/usr/local/mesa10/lib bin/supertuxkart[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]Have a lot of fun with the new Mesa.

Tommysammy has created an OS4.1 icon for our Mesa versions.
