And, FWIW, the only bug shown in #10336 has been fixed.  Again, as I 
said before, your logs indicate some brokenness with your install that's 
preventing OpenGL from working properly.

 From here, see: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/TicketHowTo .  
Specifically:
-----
If your ticket gets marked as "*worksforme*" or "*invalid*" consider 
this a challenge to improve the bug report. Problems often only occur 
with a particular setting, with some particular hardware or even with a 
specific recording. Figuring out what exactly is causing the problem 
will make it possible to reproduce the bug, which is the first step in 
fixing it.
-----
where, here, it was marked closed/fixed because your report did actually 
show a bug and that bug has been fixed.  (And, we thank you for that 
report, which led to fixing the bug.)  However, there is no indication 
of further bugs in MythTV code.  Until we have a useful report of 
something that can be fixed, there is absolutely no reason to keep the 
ticket open.  If you prefer, I can treat your ticket like we have, 
historically, treated tickets that don't provide sufficient information 
to identify a bug that can be fixed:  I can leave it open--and ignore 
it--for 3 to 5 years, then close it as, "Probably fixed in the last 5 
years."

And, besides, it's not like I'm just leaving you hanging.  I /am/ 
involved in a discussion with you to try to fix the issue on your 
system.  I'm just having said discussion where it belongs:  on the 
mailing list.  I've even told you that I will almost definitely put in a 
workaround to use the old, legacy, doesn't-work-with-some-themes painter 
you're forcing it to use, anyway, right now.  But, as I mentioned, I 
want to identify what's broken in your install so I can tell the user 
how to fix it when I implement the workaround.

For a much better description of why this ticket is closed, see:

(And from here, I will continue the discussion we were having on the 
-users list.)
