Re: Degugging DRI

OK, I think I get the point. One can't make any assumptions and needs to
keep an open mind towards any possibility.

Does anybody know of any GL debugging methodology? Since I have the sources
of the applications that causes the problem I was thinking of linking with
the ld '--wrap' option to each gl function. The wrapped functions should log
on file that they are accessed and the result of each call to the original
function. Does this sound as a reasonable way to begin to approach this
problem?
