Description

Let me tell you a story of a bug affecting larger adoption of EGL standart, which lived for more than 11 years in Mesa3D.

The journey to fix this bug involved many people, a lot of code, some CI testing, a new display extension, and many sleepless nights.

This talk aims to illustrate, what can be done with open-source drivers and CI infrastructure which would never be possible achieve with a closed-source proprietary driver.
