Lzdoom/standalone crashing when changing rendering to OpenGL #1107

There's a problem with LZDOOM where, if you change the rendering mode to OpenGL from software(OpenGL should be faster since it's hardware accelerated), it will crash until you reset the LZDoom option to default. I just experienced it and it seems some other users were having the same issues. I'm using a r36s but I don't think it's related to the whole thing.

Because there's no OpenGL available for these devices using the stock kernel. Only OpenGLES which LZDoom does not support. Use GZDoom instead since OpenGLES is available there so should give about the same performance as LZDoom. If you want to use OpenGL with LZDoom, you can try ROCKNIX since that is using a mainline kernel which adds support for OpenGL. I don't know if they have LZDoom in their build though.
