Bug 70766

I actually have a card supported by the radeonsi driver, but, probably due to the error reported here, hardware-supported 3D is not available under X. I think the error here would also apply to radeonsi if Mesa attempted to load it.

When I run glxinfo, I get:

The demangled name of "_ZTIN4llvm11raw_ostreamE" is "typeinfo for llvm::raw_ostream". LLVM is compiled without RTTI. Mesa has a class that inherits llvm::raw_ostream and is compiled without -fno-rtti. That might be the code that triggers the problem:

src/gallium/auxiliary/gallivm/lp_bld_debug.cpp:
class raw_debug_ostream :
   public llvm::raw_ostream
{


I experimentally patched Mesa like so:

mesa$ git diff

and recompiled.
That seemed to fix the problem for me:

Both LLVM and Mesa versions are very current, maybe two hours old at the time of this writing.
