[Bug 1393021] Re: OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering

 

** Description changed:

  Since Mesa 10.2 i get an error when i run steam "OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.
- For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-7457."; my glxinfo shows 'direct rendering: Yes'
+ For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-7457.";
  When i try to run Half-Life 2 i get this:
  "Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError' ! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated."
+ If a game does run i get horrible frame rate like 5 fps
  I have SAPPHIRE HD 7850 1GB, the same error shows on mesa 10.3 and 10.4.
  I have Xubuntu 14.10 but the same error shows on other Ubuntu flavors and distributions.
