OpenGL problems
================================================================================
If you have desktop OpenGL headers installed at build time in your RPi or cross
compilation environment, support for it will be built in. However, the chipset
does not actually have support for it, which causes issues in certain SDL apps
since the presence of OpenGL support supersedes the ES/ES2 variants.
The workaround is to disable OpenGL at configuration time:
./configure --disable-video-opengl
Or if the application uses the Render functions, you can use the SDL_RENDER_DRIVER
environment variable:
export SDL_RENDER_DRIVER=opengles2
