Title:
  libgl1-mesa-glx conflicts with nvidia-current (nvidia-304)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  NOTES:
  I am NOT using the xorg-edgers PPA.
  I am NOT using the non-package binary driver from nvidia.com
  I am NOT using nouveau.

  When the libgl1-mesa-glx package is installed and the nvidia-current
  (i.e. nvidia-304) package is also installed, something is running

  update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/x86_64
  -linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf

  on what seems to be every boot. This is problematic, because in fact
  the alternative should be set like:

  update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
  /usr/lib/nvidia-304/ld.so.conf

  Having the alternative set to mesa prevents the nvidia kernel and xorg
  modules from being loaded, which causes X to fall back to the built-in
  intel GPU and driver, which doesn't work.

  The result on boot is either:

  1. A black screen with a couple of notices e.g.:

  [   14.475147] i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents

  2. A purple screen with no other content, but the "lightdm has started
  the greeter and is waiting for your password" noise is heard.

  Neither of these is a good result; in case 1 I can switch to different
  VT but I do not get a login prompt on any of them, and in case 2 I
  _cannot switch VT_.

  If the alternative is set to the nvidia conf and then the gui is
  started, for example by:

  1. boot
  2. enter recovery mode
  3. fsck
  4. drop to root prompt
  5. update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-304/ld.so.conf
  6. exit
  7. resume normal boot.

  Everything works perfectly. AFAICT this is _NOT_ a bug in the NVidia
  binary driver, the wrong alternative is simply being used.

  I am reporting this issue against the libgl1-mesa-glx package, as that
  package provides the mesa ld.so.conf file in question.
