Description:
Packages nvidia-utils and libgl conflict across several symlinks:
/usr/lib/libGL.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
and it makes using both nvidia and intel drivers rather hard.

Some laptops (like Asus U3S) have two video chips available: Nvidia GeForce for performance mode and Intel GMA for powersaving mode. These chips are switched before booting the system and only one of them is available at particular moment.

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S nvidia-utils libgl

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  This is why these packages have conflicts with eachother. You can't combine nvidia drivers with opensource drivers, at least not the OpenGL libraries, so we will not support this combination.
