I think this failure is resolved with the updated mir platform patch and bugfixes for i915 that have been sent upstream. Waiting for those to get applied.
But the story does not end there. Now when running unity8-dash it fails because mesa claims it only supports OpenGL 1.4. And that because of another mesa patch, ubuntu applies against upstream mesa. So with that i915 allows only GL 1.4, ES 1.0 and ES 2.0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275398 Title: i915 driver/i945 hardware: Mir GL clients are rendered as black or transparent windows when using i945 graphics Status in Mir: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “mesa” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Running Mir on a Pentium D system with integrated i945 graphics, appears to work at first.
