You can manage the libGL providers at runtime by using                                              
either smgl-gl_select or manually by symlinking the files                                           
from their respective directories i.e.:                                                             
/usr/lib/[nvidia|ati|mesa]/libGL.so                                                                 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/[nvidia,ati,mesa]/lib{glx,dri}.so                                  
/usr/include/GL/[nvidia|ati|mesa]/gl{x,xext,ext}.h
