My nVidia card stopped working. I switched to the built in Intel video by deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and apt-get remove nvidia-driver.
Now the direct rendering doesn't work. How can I enable direct rendering for Intel HD4000 video when nVidia was the last driver?

update-alternatives --config glx

update-alternatives --config glx
Thanks, that was all it needed.

The intel driver is working great. On my next du there are several nvidia things to install. I'd like to remove them but I know that some of my packages use some nvidia libraries that are unrelated to video drivers, so I cannot remove all nvidia. Can some help me to remove what is part of the nvidia driver install?
Here is what's installed:

I looked what apt-get purge wanted to do with the whole list. I removed one at a time from the list and tried again until I came up with the list that didn't want to add or remove anything not on the list.
That left me with keeping these nvidia-cg-dev:amd64 nvidia-cg-toolkit
and removing these:
glx-alternative-nvidia libegl1-nvidia:amd64 libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 libgles1-nvidia:amd64 libgles2-nvidia:amd64 libnvidia-eglcore:amd64 libnvidia-ml1:amd64 nvidia-alternative nvidia-driver-bin nvidia-installer-cleanup nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-modprobe nvidia-settings nvidia-support nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
Can anyone knowledgeable about the nvidia driver let me know if one of the ones I removed was not part of the nvidia driver?
