I have a Geforce256 card and I am using the nvidia drivers 0.9-5. nvidia provides several libs/modules which conflict with the debian package ones.
so far I have solved the following conflicts with dpkg-divert.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions
libGLcore.a.distrib # local diversion
libglx.a.distrib # local diversion
libglx.so -> libglx.so.1.0.5 # from nvidia
libglx.so.1.0.5 # from nvidia
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
nv_drv.o.distrib # local diversion
nvidia_drv.o # from nvidia
/usr/lib
libGLcore.so -> libGLcore.so.1 # from nvidia
libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.5 # from nvidia
libGLcore.so.1.0.5 # from nvidia
libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
# here comes the problematic one
libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2
libGL.so.1.0.5 # from nvidia
libGL.so.1.2 # xlibmesa3
xlibmesa3 provides libGL.so.1.2 and something insist on libGL.so.1 pointing to
it.
I tried to divert the link, so that my link (libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.5) is
not delete by xlibmesa3. This works fine during package install, but as soon as
ldconfig is called, my link is replace by libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.
How can I stop this?
Is there a better approach of integrating the vendor supplied drivers?
regards
