glx fails with nvidia proprietary drivers
After installing nvidia-375 normally through the package manager, glx doesn't work.
Running nvidia-xconfig doesn't fix the problem and also brings my resolution down to 800x600 or something.
Installing bumblebee makes glx work, but only on the integrated intel gpu.
This is a laptop with 2 gpus, so I figured it might be some prime stuff going wrong, but nvidia-settings is nearly empty (as seems to be a common issue) for some reason, so there's nothing I can change there. Nouveau works 'fine', I think.
This might also be significant, but if I have nouveau installed and try to switch to the proprietary driver using jockey, it just fails with no error message. When I press 'apply changes', the radio button simply switches back to nouveau by itself.
glxinfo output:
name of display: :0.0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
glxgears output:
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
steam, etc other glx-dependent applications also fail to run

the only GLX-related error message I can find is this:
[ 17.228] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
