Details

Description:

There is currently a conflict between "nvidia-304xx-utils" and "mesa-libgl". "nvidia-304xx-utils" is a dependency of "nvidia-304xx" and "mesa-libgl" a dependency of "bumblebee". Thus, one cannot use bumblebee with the 304xx drivers. Since new NVIDIA driver releases sometimes come with new bugs, being able to fallback to a previous "stable" driver would be quite useful for bumblebee users.

Additional info:
* package version(s): bumblebee (3.1.6)

Steps to reproduce:

Try to install nvidia-304xx with bumblebee.

> "nvidia-304xx-utils and mesa-libgl are in conflict (libgl). Remove mesa-libgl?"

The legacy drivers are indeed not bumblebee ready. Internally we agreed to keep the old drivers as they are. I'm not running the legacy drivers so I couldn't test the proposed changes. Bumblebee should only be used in conjunction with the nvidia package for now.
