Broken 3D Applications

This page is intended as a non-exhaustive list of what broke due to our removing of Mesa and GLX from gNewSense. This will most likely include anything needing 3D graphic support, or even a program that just uses OpenGL to draw 2D graphics. That means many video games and, for example, some media players and screensavers are unusable. If you come across something while otherwise using gNewSense, add it here. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnewsense-users/2008-01/msg00018.html for details.

Current status of 3D graphics support: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnewsense-users/2009-01/msg00041.html

Mesa/GLX is now back in gNewSense, following license changes.

To find the package that the application comes from, use the dpkg command. For example, to find the package that glxinfo is in:

  $ dpkg -S $(which glxinfo)
  mesa-utils: /usr/bin/glxinfo
  $
