Bug Description
Binary package hint: libgl1-mesa-dri
Upgrading to Mesa 6.5.2 on radeon driver (r200, r300...) some apps (like Globs and Second Life client) shows a black window (screen) without showing its content (that seem to run well, also if it isn't visible); some of them (SecondLife) could be seen anyway after a window resize as a workaround.
Anyway Michel Dänzer pushed a patch to fix this on r300; All is referenced and solved here: https:/
Applying the attached patch to the Ubuntu Sources fixes the bug for all the apps I tested.
Please, add this to the ubuntu package, I've attached also a patch file showing diff to integrate this into the ubuntu mesa sources.

Do you get a black screen (with only right mouse pointer)? globs.sourcefor ge.net/
I get that from when I'm using Xorg 7.2 and Mesa 6.5.2; I get the same also using Globs Benchmarks http://
