first I have done the debug with the original 8.0.4 mesa libs ( no
modifications in the source code ), I have set a breakpoint like this :

break _mesa_meta_DrawPixels()

but gdb never reaches the _mesa_meta_DrawPixels() function, this function is
never called, and Blender crashes at startup with this error :

blender: swrast/s_span.c:1327: _swrast_write_rgba_span: Assertion `colorType ==
0x1401 || colorType == 0x1406' failed.

when I check the value of colorType it's set to zero


then I decided to test with a modified 8.0.4 libs ( by applying my "dirty fix",
I delete somme assertions functions in s_span.c, image.c and s_blend.c files ),
and I set again the same breakpoint:

break _mesa_meta_DrawPixels()

but gdb again never reaches the _mesa_meta_DrawPixels() function, Blender
doesn't crash, but it's very slow in the GUI,

this slowness is not normal because in "software mode" (
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ) for opengl blender is still fast with 8.0.4 original
mesa libs, so I think it's my "dirty fix" who causes this slowness, deleting
the assertions functions was not a good idea,

in conclusion I think we must find why the colorType variable is set to zero
when I use the 8.0.4 original mesa libs, why the assertion fails in s_span.c at
line 1327 ?
