Intel Mesa Gives Problems With KDE's KWin, Again

Originally posted by bridgman View PostThis issue comes up every few months. The core problem here is that the KDE devs were writing new code which used OpenGL features that were just being implemented in the open drivers. Nothing wrong with that in principle but it requires fairly close communication between app and driver developers so everyone understands what should and should not work.

isn't it great? They do a stupid change (idiotic even) and when people (rightfully) complain, they shut them down.
And people are surprised that there aren't more mesa/driver devs.
Btw, which users are more important than the composite using window managers?
Games? Surely not - since opensource drivers, especially intel's suck way to much for that. CAD? Don't try to be funny. There is a reason workstation drivers (from amd and nvidia) are seldomly updated and certified to run workstation applications.
So what is left - xmms ogl analyzer plugin?

Thumbs up for spotting it.

Since gnome shell sucks and even Ubuntu won't ship it, it doesn't even matter if OS drivers works well with it or not. Others have to suffer, because of idiocy.
