Newer mesa packages

[dolphin_oracle]

Ok I've now set up a new system (KDE 23.4 iso) twice. The first time everything was fine up until I started customizing a few things related to bootup. (grub theme, bootsplash) and desktop wallpaper (custom one). I'm not sure what change screwed up my logout (sddm) but I've set up a second system and will make changes one at a time until I find it.

Currently the system is fine with both 6.1 and liquorix 6.10 kernels, the ahs-staging mesa, and all my usual apps installed. So in my list of usual changes I make to the KDE desktop, the ones' I haven't made yet are

1. disabling grub theme in place of graphic (musical.png in this case).
2. Custom user wallpaper stored in non-home location (but come to think of it, symlinked to my home folder and so the symlink might actually be what's in use, which might not be readable if not logged in and I guess could screw up sddm somehow but it shouldn't since I don't think the wallpaper is used by the sddm theme)
3. custom bootsplash (freja's new MXImagine bootsplash)

And that's it. That's all the customization I have left, so I'm thinking something I've done broke sddm on logout rather than mesa. which while irritating to me, at least makes me feel better about the mesa update.

will continue with this tonight.

I have now made my grub theme changes and my custom user wallpaper, exactly as before.

no problems with graphical login.

so far so good.

OK tracked down the problem. it is the experimental MXImagine bootsplash. which no one else really has.

So I think no actual problem with the mesa packages.

charlesV and I have narrowed down the problem with the login screen down to sddm only and probably the init script. the new plymouth theme he's working on with freja and the new mesa packages are not involved.

pretty happy with the mesa update. I need to check it against fluxbox and Xfce, but I'm not predicting any hassles.

Nice--so we can keep it as "AHS" instead of "AHS up to a point".

The first kudos need to go to the Debian backports packager, since we just copied their work.

yeah I think we can move those mesaa updates over to ahs.
