Hi again,

I wondered how you've dealt with the link overwriting which happens  
with nvidia installation - I suppose it does with the kmod-nvidia then.

Since you just have to wait for updates, you may not be able to store  
the intel libGL correctly before the update (imagine you have a big  
update with the kernel, the kmod AND xorg-server and that stuff which  
updates the libGL and/or libglx.so).
Then it'll disappear. And you won't get any libGL for the intel card  
which is problematic.
What did you do so that you keep the intel libGL.so and libglx.so ?
