Ave people
Since updating my system from mesa 7.7.1-1 to 7.7.1-2, Flightgear (git/svn)
won't start
anymore. It refuses with the message "Error: Not able to create requested
visual". A little google fu found more people had the same problem. It's
a regression in mesa, but luckily also a fix is available.
Thread with more people with the same problem:

Bugreport at freedesktop with patch for (upstream) mesa 7.8
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28280
(patch also included in this mail)
I tested mesa 7.7.1-2 with this patch and can confirm that the patch also
works for (debian) mesa 7.7.1-2
Please include this patch in the next mesa package update en keep up the good
work!
