Do you have linsysfs mounted?

Try reading /compat/linux/sys/class/drm/card0/device/uevent.

Mesa won't retrieve device information without linsysfs.
I wrote the linsysfs patch that exposed the info there so that recent Mesa would work :)

(Wow, that was a year ago… interesting note from there: you might need to set LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 for Linux apps)

Also, what's with the "/opt/VirtualGL"? Are you using mesa from linux-c7 or something… weird?

This problem has existed forever. I am not sure it is actually a fault in Linux emulation, as these very same symptoms ("failed to retrieve device information" message, console freeze) existed back in FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics days when attempting to run purely FreeBSD OpenGL apps. At the time the workaround was a patch to Mesa's GPU detection; the underlying kernel problem wasn't addressed.

There was a somewhat related issue (but not the same one, FreeBSD and Linux versions of mesa/libdrm use different mechanisms to get device info). Mostly affected Wayland-EGL clients — they would try to access /dev/dri/card408 instead of /dev/dri/card0, fail to get info and fall back to software rendering. I fixed it a while ago: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/db8519a369261cdedda50852facc45616d4eba28

But I never saw console freezes when Mesa couldn't properly detect the GPU o_0
