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. Package: glx-diversions Architecture: i386 amd64 armhf arm64 ppc64el Multi-Arch: foreign Pre-Depends: nvidia-installer-cleanup, Depends: glx-alternative-mesa (= ${binary:Version}), ${misc:Depends} Description: prepare for using accelerated GLX implementations from GPU vendors Diverts the free libGL.so implementation (MESA) and the xserver module libglx.so (Xorg), preparing the system for plugging in accelerated implementations from GPU vendors via alternatives, see the glx-alternative-* packages. Package: glx-alternative-mesa Architecture: i386 amd64 armhf arm64 ppc64el Multi-Arch: foreign Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.17.21), ${misc:Pre-Depends} Depends: update-glx (= ${binary:Version}), ${misc:Depends} Recommends: glx-diversions, Suggests: libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, Breaks: # libGLX_indirect.so.0 alternative nvidia-alternative (<< 390.67-3~), Description: allows the selection of MESA as GLX provider In setups with several GLX providers (e.g. the free MESA implementation and proprietary graphics hardware vendor implementations) this metapackage allows one to switch back to MESA. . 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.

Use 'update-glx --config glx' to select an implementation. . This package does not depend on the corresponding NVIDIA libraries. In order to install the NVIDIA driver and libraries, install the nvidia-driver package instead.
