Same problem here, unity complains about r600_dri.so not containing some entry point called glsapi_*tls* or something.

the problem with Steam and the Steam games is easy to solve, deleting or renaming libgcc_s.so.1 from

/home/obed/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

but I have problem with some no steam games. HoN is one.

After latest updates, I had issue with Unity, which won't start. I had blank page with cursor. Nothing works!
Only solution for me was purgin ppa, i tried ccsm or unity, but doesn't work for me.

I had the same problem and have also use ppa-purge to make my system working again.

I could get in ccsm, where the unity plugin was disabled. But enabling it didn't bring back unity.

Same here. It may be something with mesa git, cause xorg-edgers gives same result. Odd thing is that not only other DE works (like openbox or gnome), but also games - means there is proper hardware acceleration.

Unity spits something about failed to load radeonsi and issue with swrast.so (undefined symbol: __glap_tls_Dispatch).

Radeon VDPAU don't work

Before one week I installed Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon, after that video acceleration vdpau don't work anymore.
I have AMD Radeon HD 5670 graphics.
When I try to play some video in terminal i get this error:

I can't figure out what is the problem, is that some new bug in mesa or something else I forgot to do.
