libEGL Crashes and locks applications

[aPlatypus]

I am getting this error or something very similar quite regularly since befor 25 December 2023.

ERROR:

$ flatpak run org.wezfurlong.wezterm
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
MESA: error: CreateSwapchainKHR failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
MESA: error: zink: could not create swapchain

I have pasted this error output from the console, because it is the most informative version I've seen so far.

The first time I saw this problem, I mistakenly thought it was an issue with a Rust library I was using, details are available here:

* [egl: failed to create dri2 screen #355](https://github.com/amethyst/bracket-lib/issues/355)

When I posted that bug, I thought there was something to do witih the moust -- No. Lots of things crash (or hang) with no activity on my part. The only common denominator seems to be using the OpenGL or something in Mesa.

I am happy to turn-on a log or diagnostics and send someone the output. I do not feel equiped to figure things out as the end user. I peeked at the syslog file but nothing there seemed to relate to the message I'm seeing.

* So if theres some diagnostic I can do, let me know.

EXPECTED

* Not to get the crash/error from libEGL
* Top level user applications run with no issues
* Perhaps there is a way to turn-off the libEGL so this problem can be side-stepped until such time there is a working solution????
