Use 'update-glx --config glx' to select an implementation. . In addition to updating the alternatives, this will trigger further actions needed to complete the switch.

Use 'update-glx --config glx' to select an implementation. . This package does not depend on the corresponding MESA libraries. In order to install the MESA libraries, install the libgl1-mesa-glx package instead.
