One problem with that is: If libqt5gui5 and mesa-utils aren't the same architecture, what glxinfo reports doesn't necessarily apply to libqt5gui5. For example: glxinfo from mesa-utils:amd64 reports that OpenGL 2 hardware acceleration is working, because libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 is installed. However, OpenGL 2 hardware acceleration still doesn't work for libqt5gui5:i386, because libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 isn't installed. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer
