nvidia customizations
- Patches to convert an extracted nvidia package to not delete any libGL files but to instead create libGL symlinks based on the current symlinks on the box. If libGL.so or libglx.so are actual files they are moved out of the way before symlinks to the nvidia version are created.
- xlibmesa3-gl 4.2.1-6 replacement package without libGL.so* This is pretty much the same thing as the previous package in terms of function. However, this package replaces xlibmesa3-gl rather than xlibmesa. It is a smaller package since GLU has been broken out into a separate package.
- xlibmesa 4.2.1-4 replacement package without libGL.so* The problem with the nvidia driver and the normal xlibmesa package is that they overwrite what is currently on the system. Installing this package after installing the nvidia driver should replace xlibmesa on the box without breaking accelerated OpenGL via the nvidia libraries.
- xlibmesa 4.1 meta package. This satisfies libGL dependencies without actually containing any files. It is a blank package that should be installed afterinstalling your nvidia driver.
