Thanks :)

I never had problems with those drivers, and I don't have problems with 331.49 either :)

Hopefully it helps others

The 331.xx drivers are OK it's the 334.xx drivers that have the problem or if Stuart is correct it's actually the way Myth is using them.

The problem is we were blindly doing dynamic loading of libGLESv2 if it existed and trying to use it, even if we had opengles disabled. There is a possibiilty that there are bugs in the initial implementation of libGLESv2, but we should not have been using it just because it's there.
