Hi,

as you who are using nVidia with free drivers may have had experienced 
crashing various applications which use multi-threading OpenGL.

This means that current KDE Plasma (sddm, plasmashell, menus etc.), 
applications based on Qt5WebEngine (i.e. qupzilla) or 3D games were crashing 
instantly.

There are like 10 known bug reports on Mesa, main one is here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98039

I've patched our Mesa with highly experimental patches, which original author 
called them as "broken by design". This patched mesa-13.0.2-2 is available for 
cooker and 3.0 (testing).

Feel free to give it a test, looking for your feedback.

Cheers
TPG
