Bengt,
Thanks for the data point. Yes, I too got the "Failed to create XKB
context" and the fix is to install xkeyboard-config-2.20 AFAIR. The
libGL errors are certainly interesting, I don't see those. Will dig
down on that.

The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility
of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has
created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs
all around us and even inhabits our minds. -- Georg Cantor
