Supertuxkart - patch request

Hi,

I'm one of the Supertuxkart developers.

There is a bug in mesa drivers that causes the displayed image to be
darker than expected:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92759

AFAIK this causes issues in STK for all intel graphics cards with
OpenGL >= 3.1 with mesa >= 10.6.

Original bug report is here:
https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/2190

We made a workaround rather long time ago, but I didn't expect that
they will release version 17.0 that soon (and that they won't fix it).
And thus our workaround was valid for mesa < 16.0.

Someone reported it for mesa 17 recently:
https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/2830

I corrected it in this commit:
https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/commit/7e4dfdb97e5df75585ba83945e806096c7d74cfd

So I suggest to apply this patch (remove this version number) to STK
package in upcoming Ubuntu release (not sure if it's not too late).

The patch is not needed in Debian because we should release STK 0.9.3 soon.

Regards,
Deve
