Description: allows the selection of MESA as GLX provider
In setups with several GLX providers (e.g. the free MESA implementation and
proprietary graphics hardware vendor implementations) this metapackage
allows one to switch back to MESA.
.
Use 'update-alternatives --config glx' to select an implementation.
.
This package does not depend on the corresponding MESA libraries.
In order to install the MESA libraries, install the libgl1-mesa-glx package
instead.

Description: allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX provider
In setups with several GLX providers (e.g. the free MESA implementation and
proprietary graphics hardware vendor implementations) this metapackage
allows one to switch to the non-free NVIDIA driver and libraries.

This package does not depend on the corresponding NVIDIA libraries.
In order to install the NVIDIA driver and libraries, install the
nvidia-driver package instead.

Description: prepare for using accelerated GLX implementations from GPU vendors
Diverts the free libGL.so implementation (MESA) and the xserver module
libglx.so (Xorg), preparing the system for plugging in accelerated
implementations from GPU vendors via alternatives, see the
glx-alternative-* packages.
