Bug#903121: Your mail

[J.P. Lien]

So I just ran into a similar issue on my system (desktop with a GTX 
1060).  The problem in my case was that X was trying to load the X.ORG 
version of GLX from

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

I worked around it by replacing this with a symlink to the nvidia lib in

/usr/lib/nvidia/current/libglx.so

Not sure how this is supposed to work or resolve to the correct driver 
since I don't have another system to compare to.  I think it's maybe 
related to a broader problem with alternatives and glvnd because after 
reinstalling the nvidia driver from scratch multiple times I was still 
getting MESA until I switched to the non-glvnd variant.
