[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#594297: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives: breaks DRI because overrides libGL from mesa

[Norbert Preining]

Package: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives
Version: 195.36.31-2
Severity: important

Dear all,

I have a laptop with nvidia and intel card, and I always run on the Intel
card, but keep the nvidia drivers installed.

Upon installation of libgl1-nvidia-alternatives now DRI is broken as the
main libGL is nvidia.

Interestingly, I would assume that something like an alternative is given,
but 
	$ update-alternatives --config libGL.so
	There is only one alternative in link group libGL.so: /usr/lib/nvidia/diversions/libGL.so
	Nothing to configure.

Wonderful, so now there is no way to select MESA anymore????

Can you please fix that or make it work in a different way, that is NOT
the way it is supposed to work.

Furthermore, there is *absolutely* no explanation how that system should
work in /usr/share/doc/libgl1-nvidia-alternatives 

Best

Norbert

Yes, thre is only the intel. The nvidia is turned of by hardware:
