Package: picom
Version: 12.5-1

Using picom with GLX backend with certain AMD cards (mine is an rx
9070xt) alongside the latest mesa 26 backports will result in a black
screen (It is on openbox for me, but may affect other window
managers).

Upstream bug: 

 BLACK SCREEN WITH GLX BACKEND IN DEFAULT SETTINGS · ISSUE #1511 ·
YSHUI/PICOM https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/1511 

The issue is fixed by applying the patch from 

 GITHUB - YSHUI/PICOM AT GFX12-64K-TEXTURE
https://github.com/yshui/picom/tree/gfx12-64k-texture 

I fetched the debian picom source, applied the patch against version
12.5, rebuilt, and the issue is fixed for me. Perhaps this patch
should be applied to Debian's build?

I am using Devuan excalibur, kernel 7.0.12. However I believe this
bug would also be affecting Debian.

Thank you!
