Hello Alex,

Many thanks for your reply! I am personally not able to test the git master, because this is 
something what some people would call a production machine... to me. I was in hope that this could 
be solved for the SuSE version which i got via update?

The RPM utility is showing me these:
- Mesa-7.5-2.1
- Mesa-devel-7.5-2.1

??

Greetings,

Matthias
