The Nvidia libGL, and the Mesa libGL explicitly conflict with
each other. There is no way to cleanly make them coexist
currently.
I think I should make this conflict explicit in the rpm rather
than users continuously experiencing unknown libGL problems when
installing Nvidia's drivers. This would make it much easier for
people using Nvidia proprietary drivers to use them with less
troublesome and hard to diagnose conflicts.
I'll investigate doing this in our next build.
