Closed issue by goosewood on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/282
Description:
### System
* xuname:
Void 4.16.14_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rr
* package:
nvidia 390.67_1
### Expected behavior
Installs smoothly. After installation, no driver issue/less issues that nouveau
### Actual behavior
Package fails as documents [here](https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/issues/14052).
When using the work around proposed in at issue, xorg refuses to run with fatal error
```shell
(EE) no screens found(EE)
```
Sidenote, only one monitor prints the tty
Also of note, on unistall (i.e. returning to nouveau driver) no glx engine is installed (many programs returning glx_init() not found)
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Install nvidia package on non-free
Work around to actually install the package
```shell
xinit
# fails
sudo xbps-remove -RF nvidia # returning to free drivers
sudo init 6
# anything that needs openGL to work
```
Sorry for the rambling issue, kinda was in the irc channel for about a day and didn't get too far (but ran into a lot of silly errors that should probably be fixed)
