opengl issues in conty.sh with latest mesa

giomat · 12-16-2023, 11:51 AM

Recent updates to mesa have broken conty ability to set up opengl contexts, thus breaking games. I brought the issue to the developer that was kind enough to fix it immediately.
The issue was due to an older mesa in the archlinux packages that was strangely conflicting with the 23.3.1 version in slackware-current.

Anyway here's the latest version with updated mesa: https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty/releases/tag/1.24.8

Maybe it's related.
I suffered wine libGL err on my intel gpu box with recent slackware64 updates, because the mesa driver mesa-compat32 was out date.
Fetch the latest mesa 32bit, convert and install compat32 package.
convertpkg-compat32 -i /path/to/mesa-23.3.0-i586-1.txz
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new /tmp/mesa-compat32-23.3.0-x86_64-1compat32.txz

im geting Vulkan missing requested extension 'VK_KHR_surface'.
Vulkan missing requested extension 'VK_KHR_xlib_surface'.
BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan!
launching Steam since mesa 23.2 the vulkan 32 bit driver is broken in Slackware but no one seems to care

How do you install steam? I use the one bundled with conty and it does'nt give any issue now (my mesa 23.3.1, conty mesa the same).
Check with "vulkaninfo | grep xlib" in a terminal to see if it's not due to a faulty installation

thank you for informing the developer! i still have some issues with wine ("Unrecognized OpenGL version") but it is much better than before.

yes but if you use conty you you are using conty mesa version not system slackware mesa, conty is based on Arch Linux if im not mistaken.
i installed Steam with sbo and was working fine until mesa version 23.2, mesa 23.1.8 work perfect. I dont use conty but this problem should be fixed.

Code:

vulkaninfo | grep xlib
	VK_EXT_acquire_xlib_display            : extension revision 1
	VK_KHR_xlib_surface                    : extension revision 6
		VK_KHR_xlib_surface
		VK_KHR_xlib_surface
