Your solution fits that suspicion. With your "reinstall" you did it the right way around: first Mesa (via the default or Xorg repo) and then overwrite the Mesa libglx.so (and the symlinks to the Mesa libGL*.so*) with the files/links to the nvidia libglx.so/libGL* via the install from the nvidia repo.
This is a fundamentally broken way of doing things if you ask me. If Nvidia needs a to overwrite a system package with their own, you are in a situation where your system is at risk with any update, or security patch. At a very least Nvidia needs to be a couple release numbers ahead of the system package they are replacing, or change things such that the system package name is not used. Its a ticking time bomb. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
