This sounds like a duplicate of https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/12936 in which case it should already be fixed. Could you try it with a nightly build?

hmmm
this was commited oct 1st, before v2.5.0 release
so this should already be in the stable release?
depending if it was branched from a different release branch

it does appear related obviously:

glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1.0f);
opengl issue, black screen ...

[eriktorbjorn]

From what I understand, 2.5.0 was tagged on October 1st, before that bugfix was made. (And the 2.5 branch would have happened some time before that. I forget exactly when.) The release date was on October 9th, but that delay was probably to prepare downloads for various systems.

So it should work in the nightly build, and in the upcoming 2.5.1. But not in 2.5.0.

great. until the release comes out for ubuntu 18.04 i will wait
i doubt the debian nightly will work
i could compile the build myself ... i compile enough software
not really in the mood honestly

but i will retest when v2.5.x does release.
thanks for your reply and clarification

[arrowgent]

seems like it was fixed

2.5.1 "Californium" (2022-01-02)
Fixed black screen while entering save game name.
OpenGL without shaders is preferred as default for Grim Fandango.

So, this is fixed now in 2.5.1 and the daily versions with commit 51edb558512b936382a805121dec0b651575f70c:
