And the bug in LibreOffice is what? Except maybe the fact that it wants
OpenGL. Which I disliked from the beginning.

Isn't this a driver bug, then? What should LO do?

(I'd have liked it more that you marked the other bug affecting libreoffice
instead of filing a new bug..)

OK.

I _think_ it's possible to disable OpenGL; though.

Which again is a mesa bug, isn't it? It doesnÄt complain about libGL (which
LO uses) missing stuff, but libGL complains about stuff missing in whatever
driver you use.

Or do I oversee something?
