Dear Maintainer,

I'm using asymptote software to render static images or webGL objects. For the latter there is no problem and everything works well, as for the former (PDF or PNG output) I get the following:

X Error of failed request:  GLXBadFBConfig
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  43
  Current serial number in output stream:  43

Setting MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5, I get rid of the above messages,
despite rendering quality is very poor, if not bronken. Part of this
problems are due to SSBOs - don't know what this is yet - according to
asymptote's author on their forums.

All of this came up when, using PreTeXt (pretextbook.org) in print (or
PDF) target, there was some errors on images from asymptote to be
converted to PDF.

Is there a way to have a "real" upgraded version available?

I can provide any further information upon request, due to my
ignorance on this subject.

Best, Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

Can you try again with mesa 22.3.1-1, which is in testing now, and
report back if the issue is fixed?

Thanks.
