I can start and run a "minetestserver", but I can't start "minetest" himself.

If i run minetest from the start menu, nothing happens. When I run it from the Konsole (on X) there is following:

-------------
$ minetest
Irrlicht Engine version 1.8.1
Linux 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.9-1 (2014-02-01) x86_64
Fatal error, could not get visual.
-------------

System: Debian unstable
Tested with Minetest from debian and a self build Minetest.

Problem solved.

After updated Mesa-driver is it not enough to restart X. Today after restarting the system, it runs again.
