Why on earth, glx--libEGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu points to mesa-diverted??
MESA and modern NVIDIA drivers (starting after the 418 series) use
libglvnd to provide generic loader libraries libGL.so.1, libEGL.so.1,
... while MESA and NVIDIA only provide some implementations:
libGLX_${VENDOR}.so.0, libEGL_${VENDOR}.so.0, ...
(NVIDIA still ships GLVND builds of (loader) libGL.so.1 etc., but we use
them from src:libglvnd.)
The name "mesa-diverted" is misleading nowadays since it actually
contains diverted libglvnd libraries ... this won't be fixed, because
once all the NVIDIA drivers predating GLVND usage reach EoL (Tesla 418
in 03/2022 and legacy 390 in 12/2022), i.e. once there are no longer
NVIDIA-specific libGL.so.1 etc. we can simplify the diversion and
alternatives setup for bookworm, since most things done can now be
solved by libglvnd.
Running glxinfo I can confirm that I'm using Nvidia driver (even if
glx--libGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu points to mesa-diverted).
As expected.
But running eglinfo clearly states that I'm using mesa driver.
That's the point we need to look into.
Luca, can you confirm that eglinfo should report something
"NVIDIA-specific" or is that a red herring?
Christophe, you should have something like these libraries
related to EGL installed:
ii libegl-mesa0:amd64 21.3.7-1 amd64
free implementation of the EGL API -- Mesa vendor library
ii libegl-nvidia0:amd64 470.103.01-3 amd64
NVIDIA binary EGL library
ii libegl1:amd64 1.4.0-1 amd64
Vendor neutral GL dispatch library -- EGL support
ii libnvidia-egl-wayland1:amd64 1:1.1.9-1.1 amd64
Wayland EGL External Platform library -- shared library
ii libnvidia-eglcore:amd64 470.103.01-3 amd64
NVIDIA binary EGL core libraries
ii libwayland-egl1:amd64 1.20.0-1 amd64
wayland compositor infrastructure - EGL library
ii nvidia-egl-common 470.103.01-3 amd64
NVIDIA binary EGL driver - common files
ii nvidia-egl-icd:amd64 470.103.01-3 amd64
NVIDIA EGL installable client driver (ICD)
Please send the configuration of the nvidia alternative, too:
update-glx --display nvidia
(the bug script should probably collect that as well ...)
