[Mesa-users] version string for OpenGL not correct?

[andrew henry]

thanks for the info.  I wondered if there would be a version override!
But it didnt work.  Trying as you suggested Steam seg faulted.

I added "env=" to the beginning:

$ env=MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3FC steam

And steam started but I still got the same error message about wrong
opengl version.
