22 The file is created/modified by app-eselect/eselect-opengl. If you have
23 USE=libglvnd enabled, eselect-opengl is no longer installed, but the
24 files it generated may remain. In this case, it is safe to remove the
25 file if USE=libglvnd is enabled, and to regenerate the file by running
26 `eselect opengl set xorg` (or nvidia, ...) if USE=-libglvnd.
