I bet you're looking in the master branch of freedesktop-sdk-images, I
haven't copied all the changes from 1.4 there since nothing is building
that atm anyway. The source is here:

https://github.com/flatpak/freedesktop-sdk-images/blob/1.4/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia.json.in

Combined with some sed magic in the makefile to build the various
versions.

Isn't most of this in gtk3-demo (the opengl demo) anyway?
