Hi,

I'm using Anki as a flashcard software. It was available in Jessie but has been 
removed for Stretch because upstream didn't release a version for current QT in 
time for Stretch. It's unlikely that Anki can get backported to Stretch because 
that would require a backport of QT [1]. So I need to get Anki from a 
non-Debian source.

There are binary builds available at the upstream site at 
https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/beta.html and they run on Stretch machines. The 
binaries sometimes crash on my machine and the console shows error messages 
from the nouveau driver. I asked upstream about this and they said it was 
"likely a buggy GL implementation" in the graphics driver. The binaries work 
fine if I disable hardware acceleration using LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 .

I'd like to know if I should report any bugs about this and/or which packages I 
could install from backports to check if the driver problem is gone there.


Kind regards,

Erik Brangs
