Conversation
- Removed a collision in the nix store - Removed dependency on qt - Fixed opengl and direct rendering by correcting some link paths - Some code refactored in builder.sh - Comments added/modified This pull request fixes #11740 and I recommend that it be considered as a hotfix for the stable channel due to the fact that opengl and direct rendering are broken there too.

Given that reportedly it doesn't work at all now and the patch looks good to me, I'll merge this in a few days if nobody would object. |

@abbradar I just applied this patch locally and it seems to be working well, thank you! |
|
I probably forgot to mention that the patch also fixes a bug with sddm (related to qt 5 opengl) where you get a white screen due to opengl not functioning. And the up shot of it is that with this patch; users of ati-drivers should now be able to pull Plasma 5 into their environment, set sddm as the default dm and migrate to Plasma Workspaces 5 if they so choose. |

Looking forward to giving this a try, sorry I haven't been able to test anything for a few days! Fingers crossed it still works :) |
