Linux 3D Games/Ports do not work anymore with Mesa-Drivers

[Werner Lehmann]

Dear Sirs,

I have FreeBSD amd64 11.0-p1 installed with a Radeon HD 4850 graphics 
card on a spare PC for experimental purposes.

In the past (maybe 2 or 3 years ago) the linux-doom3-port used to run 
perfectly on FreeBSD with that Radeon card and the Mesa-Drivers.

But now suddenly I get the following error for all of these ports: 
linux-doom3-demo, linux-quake4-demo and ut2003-demo

$ ut2003-demo

It appears to be that the issue in these three cases (and probably any 
other linux-3D-program) is a dependency on "libudev.so.1" which does 
not exist in FreeBSD. Googeling I also found this following older bug 
report which seems to confirm a relation of Mesa libGL to linux systemd:


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1168475

Could you please look into this matter and respond if this issue can be 
fixed? Needless to say that these games run fine with an nvidia-card on 
another computer, but it would be a pity that this possibility would be 
lost for Radeon (and Intel?) users when it did work in the past. I also 
would like to point out that the port darkplaces works fine with 60 fps 
on the Radeon as it is native.

Kind regards,

Werner Lehmann
