KWin OpenGL ES doesn't enable automatically

[Paweł Misiewicz]

After installation of kde-window-manager-gles 4.8 RC 1 (4.7.95) package from Kubuntu Beta Backports on Kubuntu 11.10 (i386), KWin's OpenGL ES 2.0 acceleration doesn't enable automatically as official repo version did.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Kubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Kubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
