Details

Description:
For example xorg-xserver-xephyr which provides Xephyr fails with GLX extensions. This happens when nvidia-utils is installed and libgl isn't.

Suggestion in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=135206 was to split package to swraster-dri and libgl to treat the Xephyr's sympton. The cure would be fix Xephyr to use whatever DRI it has.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Name : xorg-server-xephyr
Version : 1.11.4-1
Name : mesa
Version : 7.11.2-1
Name : nvidia-utils
Version : 290.10-1
URL : http://www.nvidia.com/
Licenses : custom
Groups : None
Provides : libgl

* config and/or log files etc.
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) GLX: could not load software renderer

Steps to reproduce:
My solution was to unpack libgl
cd libgl/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/
sudo cp * /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/
This task depends upon

I can't make up what you want, what packages are affected?

Xephyr and apparently tigervnc wants /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so which is in libgl.
The nvida-utils provides libgl and and conflicts with libgl. However nvidia-utils doesn't provide swrast_dri.so.

It would be nice to install only swrast_dri.so from package when nVidia provides libgl.

Well that's not possible, besides i don't think that will work. Reprot it to nvidia so that they can fix their software

How do other distros handle this? But I tend to not further split mesa packages.

Please check: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.8

I think it's not worth the hussle anymore because next Xorg release will handle this in a different way and new driver packages.

I tend to close it as "won't fix".
