Hello @nicholasbishop, does any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo32 from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=22417555 work?

It seems not:

$ glxinfo32

I'm not that familiar with Fedora packaging. Blind guess: does dnf install mesa-dri-drivers.i686 help?

I found the problem: I had some bad 32-bit libs. Not sure how it happened, but they were 0 sized. Fixed with sudo dnf reinstall elfutils-libelf-0.182-1.fc33.i686.

Closing this, thanks for your help :)
