Now, we provide multiple libGL libraries, and Nvidia's installer
doesn't know about them, so it doesn't delete them all. As such,
when you run OpenGL applications, the dynamic linker will use the
first libGL found, and that is the TLS i686 libGL, not Nvidias.
I've contacted Nvidia privately in order to try to come up with a
long term solution with them that is beneficial for everyone, and
isn't an ugly hack or deleting random OS provided files. They've
responded and are interested in working to find a solution.
So, at some point in the future, these problems will hopefully be
moot.
This is excellent news! Getting NVidia to have their drivers "play nice"
with the rest of Fedora would be a wonderful thing indeed.
Tell them I said to hurry up and get on with it...! <grin>
Cheers,
