Hi there I'm hoping you know whats up and can point me in the right
direction...
The Problem:

The problem i am having is when it says "swell-foop: symbol lookup
error: /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so: undefined symbol: xf86Screens"

Below is the output from my shell before and after .. I'm hoping
you'll just know what it is, i think it's the same bug.... i saw
somewhere something about a sim link ... but was unsure where or what
was being pointed at... in any-case i hope this makes sense to you ...


So First before the commands

whatsis at debian8:~$ swell-foop

(swell-foop:14382): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string !=
NULL' failed

(swell-foop:14382): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter:
The OpenGL version could not be determined

** (swell-foop:14382): WARNING **: swell-foop.vala:452: Failed to
initialise Clutter
whatsis at debian8:~$

Then

whatsis at debian8:~$ export COGL_DRIVER=gl
whatsis at debian8:~$ export COGL_OVERRIDE_GL_VERSION=4.4
whatsis at debian8:~$ export COGL_RENDERER=GLX
whatsis at debian8:~$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so
whatsis at debian8:~$ swell-foop
swell-foop: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so:
undefined symbol: xf86Screens
whatsis at debian8:~$


I guess i should mention that i run enlightenment   sparky linux which
is testing.

Thank you for your time,
Jesse B. R.
