When using either Padoka ppa or Oibaf ppa Mesa dev, the Portal 2 game only opens a black screen. If you use the -windowed parameter it will open a black window. Portal 2 game is not as well implemented as Team Fortress 2 (Valve Source engine game too) that works fine.

I did run the Portal 2 game with gdb and no additional tracing available.
This will likely help: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2017-November/177860.html I think it's not fixed in mesa git master yet.

Thank you very much for the information. It is a big job to revert back to Debian testing Mesa (purging removes a lot of software) so I use Oibaf ppa that updates every day and wait for the the fix.

Oibaf ppa has above fix for this bug and Portal 2 is working fine.
