--- Comment #1 from David Edmundson <k...@davidedmundson.co.uk> --- Fedora carries that patch in their init scripts. For what it's worth, safe mode now enables this flag constantly too. Note that it doesn't do what you described. It does *not* change whether Qt uses software rendering, it simply internally sets the environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE. This is a Mesa specific variable and it changes how mesa behaves. If you use propreitory NVidia/ATI or even a different open source driver that isn't Mesa this does nothing. What I don't really understand is: if it's the correct thing to do and it's so easy to check, why doesn't Qt just do it automatically? Laszlo Agocs merged this env variable in Qt instead of a simple check, so this was a very explicit deliberate decision (by people who frankly know a lot more than either of us) to not enable it all the time based on opengl version - and that makes me hesitant about merging this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
