Bug#1116031: nexuiz: Does not start with “Quake Error: Video modes failed”

[Ælla Chiana Arson Bobbie Moskopp]

Package: nexuiz
Version: 2.5.2+dp-10
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: acab+debian-reportbug at dieweltistgarnichtso.net

Dear Maintainer,

I just installed Nexuiz on my MNT Reform 2, which has a Vivante GC7000 GPU.
When I start the program, I get the following error messages and no window:

I found that this does not happen when you start nexuiz like this:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.0 nexuiz

In case it matters: I am using sway(1) as wayland compositor.
