Should I expect the binary NVidia driver ( manually installed ) to no longer require reinstallation after Mesa updates?
That seems odd - the problem of file stomping was already long solved by various external entities (like, when using our rpms) by way of ld.so.conf for example to have NVIDIA libGL take precedence over Mesa. It just never occurred to the people at NVIDIA to implement it in their - terrible - sh-based self-installer. (Is that still a thing?) IIUC, what glvnd really brings is that, if you do have multiple libGLs installed that you have finer control over which one gets used at which times (or possibly using *both*, i.e. in dual-GPU-from-different-manufacturer systems), something the clunky ld.so mechanism is not good at. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
