So at this point I'd like to have a discussion around our options (maybe
there are more that I haven't thought of). Option 1 is obviously the
simplest but is difficult to evaluate without knowing the stability of
the current drivers so I would propose that I start by releasing a GLVND
enabled package set to the testing repo and lets see how we get on with
those. If they cause issues with OpenGL applications then we can
consider options 2 and/or 3 for providing legacy drivers.
For now I've built a GLNVD enabled package set and uploaded them to
their respective testing repositories. Packages are syncing to the
mirrors. For example:
nvidia-x11-drv-367.35-1.glvnd.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-367.35-1.glvnd.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-367.35-1.glvnd.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
As can be seen above, I've added .glvnd in the release string, which
makes these packages a 'newer' version to yum/rpm.
Thus, to test simply enable the testing repo and update:
yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing update nvidia-x11-drv\*
and yum should pull in the updated GLNVD package(s). Then restart Xorg
and test.
Looking at the linked libs for any OpenGL application should now show it
is linked against /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGLX.so.0 which is one of the new
GLNVD libraries:

I've only tested using glxgears. Works as expected for me.
If anyone is able to test these builds, please report which distro/arch
and what OpenGL apps you've tested with. Assuming there are no major
issues, we could consider switching to GLNVD enabled packages for the
next major Long-Lived release.
Hello,
I just tested the dota2 game on centos6 x86_64. This game is run via
steam. All seems good: the game starts and runs, the fps seems normal
and I didn't notice any visual glitches or problems.
This is with: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 660].
I only tested a quick game vs bots but I'll likely do more extensive
testing in the next few days and report back if I encounter any issues.
$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia

nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-367.35-1.glvnd.el6.elrepo.x86_64
