Description Dennis Schridde 2009-10-18 18:13:22 UTC

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.40 provides following X11 extensions: libglx.so libwfb.so
It is missing: libdri.so libdri2.so

When switching OpenGL implementations from xorg-x11 to nvidia using eselect-opengl, libdri.so libdri2.so might be removed and not be replaced by nvidia implementations, thus causing lack of DRI support.

Possible solution for eselect-opengl:
 * clean all extensions
 * install desired implementations (i.e. nvidia)
 * fill up gaps with xorg-x11 implementations

Reproducible: Always

nvidia-drivers doesn't ship nor use libdri{,2}.so that's why we remove it.

@Doug, btw, could you modify nvidia-drivers to stop installing libwfb.so like we talked about a few months ago?

Thanks

Hm, you are right. Recently I had no direct rendering and it was fixed after copying the dri libraries, so I assumed it was related.
