I recently updated my packages, after updating from g20180126_1 to g20180126_3 alacritty no longer starts. I get the following error. Error creating GL context; Couldn't find any pixel format that matches the criterias. I'm on FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE with the amdgpu drivers from drm-kmod-next.
I cannot test it, cause alacritty starts without problems on my system, but maybe this can solve this: https://github.com/lo48576/alacritty/commit/b274a9f5055115b152159c0f146542a91fb4bb63
I'm not sure if that patch works yet or not, I'll try to test it tomorrow. That being said I just installed git using cargo and it works fine from git.
I thought this issue was resolved already. There's a PR for an updated version, perhaps that solves this issue as well? See PR 229857
Sorry, I forgot to come back and update this issue. That patch did fix the issue for me.
Closing as fixed per comment #3 and comment #4.
