Comment 19 for bug 565981

Robert, from the current discussion it seems that it's quite safe to roll back the two glx 1.4 and the 114 patch. Personally I would rather like to see this fixed in final, since it's such a notable regression and the 114 patch was just introduced a few days ago.

I heard that the rdepends were tested how they behave wrt. rolling back GLX from 1.4 to 1.2. From a more theoretical standpoint, what does that change entail? Does it drop a few GLX features which would help performance improvements in some cases? What do client apps do if those functions are suddenly not available any more?
