15 opengl-update does require user interaction, it needs to know which set
16 of GL libs to link to. You can't just run "opengl-update," you need to
17 run opengl-update ati, opengl-update nvidia or opengl-update xfree. In
18 essence this is no different from gcc-config, distcc-config or
19 java-config.
