Why does nvidia.settings app require mesa (croquet related)

Hi folks

During a new install on the NVme drives, i decided to test my hypithesis that perhaps mesa was interfering somehow .

I removed mesa from the install and installed the nvidia driver and its 32 bit support libs. Hoping that bypassing nesa, i could hack croquet to hit the nvidia libs.

To my surprise, the nvidia-settings configuration tool does not work without mesa.

My goal is, on the 64 bit machine with the nvidia 32 bit libs tovget Hello Triangle OpenGL app working from squeak.

ok, did some exploring with LD and removing/adding the mesa package.
It appears that nvidia-settings has a dependency on the libgbm.so which is
provided by Mesa and not part of nvidia.

So, I cannot run the gui version of nvidia-settings without mesa.

Now, to see if I can compile and run hello triangle program without mesa.

Why am I doing this? to remove complexity/layers from the croquet
debugging.

heh...that was short-lived.

I cannot run emacs gui without a library provided by mesa-- libEGL.so.1

oy.

so that approach at simplifying is no more.

Next up is install 32 bit compat libs and see if 32 bit croquet runs--iirc
it did run several years ago when I did this.
