Hi,
TLDR: please consider carrying this as a patch in Trixie:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34685
Long story: the upload of gtk 4.18 last month broke GTK applications relying on
the GL renderer on "very old drivers and hardware" as GTK upstream describes it
[1]. Affected applications will refuse to open with messages like:
(clapper:75218): Gsk-WARNING **: 16:04:34.205: The old GL renderer has been
removed. Try GSK_RENDERER=help
(clapper:75218): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 16:04:35.334: gst_object_ref:
assertion 'object != NULL' failed
(clapper:75218): GStreamer-GL-CRITICAL **: 16:04:35.334:
gst_gl_memory_allocator_get_default: assertion 'GST_IS_GL_CONTEXT (context)'
failed
**
GStreamer-GL:ERROR:../gst-libs/gst/gl/gstglbufferpool.c:151:gst_gl_buffer_pool_set_config:

Bail out!

Unfortunately, three platforms affected by this change are the imx8mq,
imx8mplus and the ls1028a as they are found in the open hardware computers MNT
Reform and MNT Pocket Reform. With this change in GTK, users of those platforms
are stuck with Bookworm. This is unfortunate, as there are not many laptops out
there which are as open as the products by MNT and my work for that platform
recently even received EUR 1.400,00 sponsorship by Debian itself [2]. It would
be nice if Debian Trixie continued supporting devices with Vivante GC7000
running GTK applications that require GL renderer.

I already approached the GTK maintainers about this but they are understandably
not keen about reverting 18k line long patch. [3] Fortunately, there seems to
be a relatively easy workaround for the situation. Christian Gmeiner opened a
MR [4] which adds texelfetch support and with that, one can then run
applications like clapper with the environment variable
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 and things work again.

[4] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34685
Especially having clapper working would be of great value for above platforms
as clapper seems to be the only video player application which is able to take
advantage of the hardware acceleration that the affected platforms offer (via
hantro). Otherwise, users of those platforms will be stuck to 720p or lower
quality video.
I know that it is late in the freeze but the GTK 4.18 upload was also late in
the freeze and the MNT Reform and MNT Pocket Reform were working just fine
until the GTK upload broke applications like Clapper due to dropping the GL
backend. It would be really nice if mesa in Debian Trixie could backport the
relatively small and targeted improvements from above MR by Christian Gmeiner
to at least have a relatively simple workaround using
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 in the environment.
Thanks!
cheers, josch
