Even if it didn't break block eselect-opengl with mesa, it is generally |
| 11 |
extraneous for most non-NVIDIA users. From [1]: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
libglvnd is a vendor-neutral dispatch layer for arbitrating OpenGL API |
| 14 |
calls between multiple vendors. It allows multiple drivers from |
| 15 |
different vendors to coexist on the same filesystem, and determines |
| 16 |
which vendor to dispatch each API call to at runtime. |
| 17 |
|

See bug [2] and commit [3] for details regarding the breakages in X for |
| 19 |
modern-NVIDIA users without libglvnd. |

(Video drivers do not actually require an X server to be present, as unless the |
| 22 |
`nomodesetting` parameter is given to the kernel, they can be initialised pre-X |
| 23 |
to provide high-resolution TTYs.) |
