I have an innocent side question:

(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so:
ld.so.1: Xorg: fatal:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so: open failed: No such
file or directory

Does ogl-select get confused by the presence of both Nvidia and Intel adapters?

Best regards
