Description
Most Linux distributions use system versions of Mesa instead of the bundled Mesa 7.2. But with new versions of Mesa Guest Additions are broken. For example, glxinfo reports (null) for "OpenGL renderer string" and other glGetString() requests.
This patch from Fedora is used for new Mesa support by various distributions:
Likely it's incomplete.
Perhaps Virtual Box 5.0+ should support Mesa 10+ because Mesa 7.2 is really old.

RHEL 6.7 - can't build video driver. May be it's same bug, but may be another.
