--- Comment #14 from Pierre Ossman <ossman at cendio.se> ---
That does make things work. But I'm hesitant to consider the issue closed
though. There are some outstanding questions:

a) I'm still getting direct rendering, despite the file being called
libGLX_indirect.so.0. Is the naming more an historical glitch and it should be
read as libGLX_fallback.so.0?

b) If it is indeed a fallback, why is that needed? I.e. why isn't Mesa being
chosen? It does not seem robust and future proof to rely on a fallback
mechanism. Which leads to...

c) What happens when both Mesa and NVIDIA wants to install the fallback
symlink? It sounds like things will just stop working, getting us right back to
the situation that GLVND was supposed to solve.
