If you don't remove the Mesa-libGL, you wont' be able to run the GL
screensavers. Look over past discussions regarding XFree, Nvidia, and
these in the list.
Interesting - I was always under the impression that the latest NVidia
installers updated the MesaGL libraries so that they did work with the
GL screen savers.
The only error I have ever seen, even with the RSSS packages, was that
some complained that DRI was not loaded. Since the NVidia drivers don't
like DRI, I assumed this was normal.
Cheers,
Chris
