Hi Luca,

But indeed, it is! I conducted the same experiments as Vladimir did with
the same result. Something is wrong with the glx beyond 0.6.x (bad
packaging, new API, new behavior? I don't know). I would recommend to
reproduce as it is very easy to do it and you will see what we are talking
about.

Talking about Bug #799948, is there a reason why sddm user should be
included in video? (because it seems to be the workaround) If so, someone
should notify sddm guys that is somehow required due to new upstream
requirement in nvidia glx packages. We don't have a clear explanation about
it.
