No, broken driver installation - no OpenGL application will work.

It seems the MESA GL library is used, but probably the fglrx driver is loaded (check /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

Comment 2 Devin Linnington 2014-12-17 03:26:33 UTC

Unlike bug 213182 though, this only seems to have happened once. It didn't happen when I restarted (after installing some updates).

If it was a driver problem wouldn't it happen every time?

Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2014-12-17 10:00:19 UTC

I'd say that "installing some updates" could have easily fixed it.
As mentioned, it is *not* a driver bug, but a broken driver installation.

Afaiu fglrx simply needs to run a script to relink some files.
