In http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTUwNjA , I
found this description:

"The NVIDIA 331.20 binary driver also updates the NVIDIA driver
installer to now detect the EGL GLAMOR library (libglamoregl.so) X
extension module as it conflicts with the NVIDIA binary driver. GLAMOR
is just used by the AMD RadeonSI driver and other select use-cases for
doing 2D acceleration over OpenGL, but conflicts with NVIDIA's libGL
and libglx.so modules."

What is not clear to me is that the new installer 'considers' (1st
quote) or 'detects' (2nd quote) libglamoregl.so ... and ... does what?
Is it saying that therefore libglamoregl.so should not pose a problem
with this new installer ??

Can someone explain this in plain English?
