Problems after Update to Mac-OS 15.2

[Helic0pter]

On the newest updates on intel macs with Sequoia 15.2 the graphics does not work anymore. We tested this with the application HELI-X (www.heli-x.info, free download available) or also with the standard examples in the jmonkeyengine, where also -X relies on.
The program is running, but the graphics is only a black screen or a flickering. Any hints are very welcome.

Hey @Helic0pter,

The only Intel-based Mac I have access to is older, supports up to Monterey 12.7. I tested latest LWJGL and OpenGL/GLFW, OpenGL/SDL and Vulkan/GLFW all work fine without any graphical issues.

Can you reproduce the issue with a minimal program? (preferably LWJGL-only, without jmonkeyengine)

[Helic0pter]

Yes, on old intel macs it works. Mine is too old to have Sequoia 15.2. A friend tried the program in LWJGL Debug mode. This is what we get. The working version then give output about the compiling of the shaders. Here you are:
