Summary 06815: -video bgfx hangs on Linux
Description Using "-video bgfx" causes MAME/BGFX/llvmpipe to consume a lot of CPU and the UI is unresponsive. All other -video modes (soft, accel, opengl) are working flawlessly. I am using ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 64-bit.

 Using GALLIUM_DRIVER to change doesn't really give any better results.

softpipe - the thread in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so consumes all the CPU of the system, but UI is barely responsive just not completely frozen.

swrast - doesn't work at all
libGL error: failed to create dri screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

 I tried glxgears with softpipe and llvmpipe and it is working fine - although softpipe is about 10x slower. So it appears to be something MAME or bgfx does.

Also unrelated to the bgfx issue after closing MAME I am no longer able to use the shell session I started MAME in - keyboard entries won't register.

 Is this still relevant? BGFX seems to work OK on Linux for me now.
