Package: supertuxkart
Version: 0.9.1-2
This affects all intel graphics cards, which have at least OpenGL 3.x,
with mesa >= 10.6. The reason of this bug is that with current drivers,
the visual is not srgb-capable anymore. Here is more info:

It's not fixed in mesa yet, because the fix is not trivial and it causes
another issues.
We made a workaround by setting WithAlphaChannel parameter to true,
which forces to use proper format on mesa side.
Additionally I hid it inside a graphics restriction to avoid any
modifications for other drivers. This is valid only for intel drivers.
The radeon/nvidia drivers are not affected by this change.
It also checks if this workaround is really needed. If we already have
srgb-capable visual, then we don't do anything.
The commits with this workaround are already applied upstream.
The diff is in attachment.

Deve
