I have installed Mesa 9.1.3 (Debian Sid). Unfortunately STK (old package) has wrong colors. But the new package with the Irrlicht patch has correct colors.

FeatureAvailable[IRR_ARB_vertex_array_bgra]=FeatureAvailable[IRR_EXT_vertex_array_bgra]=false;

This should disable the extension and avoid its use. I hope that it works after that...
It works with the new release candidate 1 of STK 0.8.1 again. Could you integrate this solution in Irrlicht, please?

It's a driver bug, and that workaround costs performance and RAM.

edit: It could also be a bug in irr, but still it should be properly solved instead of that workaround.
