Bug#565950: libgl1-mesa-dri: Plot3D in Mathematica 7 not working

[Nils Kanning <nils@kanning.de>]

Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 7.6.1-1
Severity: normal

I'm using Mathematica 7.01.0. If I plot a
function using Plot3D I do not get any output. Only while rotating the
plot the output i rendered. On the terminal there appears the error:

failed to create pixmap

I am using the open source radeon driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon
1:6.12.3-1) together with mesa 7.6.1 (especially libgl1-mesa-dri
7.6.1-1).

The mesa version seems to be of relevance: Using mesa 7.6 in addition to
the problem above mathematica also crashed with the error:

failed to create pixmap 
failed to create pixmap 
failed to create pixmap 
Mathematica: radeon_lock.c:65: radeonGetLock: Assertion
`drawable !((void *)0)

This issue is also discussed at http://groups.google.de/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/de61c0159bc64421
and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540323.
