Bug#900248: nvidia-driver: update to 390.59 breaks direct rendering

[Norbert Preining]

> Looks like the kernel module fails to load:

No, that is the usual artifact with newer kernels, this is well known. I
am running the latest stable kernels normally, currently 4.16.11
(actually .12 is out), and that has been the case since the 4.15 series
(AFAIR). I downgraded all the nvidia stuff to 390.48-3 and with the same
kernel (and the same error message of the kernel) all works back fine as
normal:

[   13.240792] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): docker0: link is not ready
[   13.265609] nvidia-modeset: Allocated GPU:0 (GPU-ae45f56a-df50-cbc7-737d-a20dd48d7bdd) @ PCI:0000:01:00.0

# glxinfo | grep OpenGL
...
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.48
...

My suspect is that (from aptitude.log):
[REMOVE] libgles1-glvnd-nvidia:amd64 390.48-3
[REMOVE] libgles1-glvnd-nvidia:i386 390.48-3
two package which seem to be not available or installable in sid at the
moment.

Best

Norbert
