"These are the libraries of the evil NVIDIA driver, packaged in such a "This package provides a drop-in replacement for @code{mesa} and is
way that you can use the transformation option @code{--with-graft=mesa=nvda} intended to be installed by @code{nvidia-service-type}.
to use the NVIDIA driver with a package that requires mesa.")
To actually use the NVIDIA card, replacement must be applied for individual
packages, this can be done either by rewriting inputs with
@code{--with-input=mesa=nvda} or grafting with @code{--with-graft=mesa=nvda}.
For a programmatical way, the procedure @code{replace-mesa} can be used.
Additionally, if the NVIDIA card is not used for displaying, environment
variables @code{__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia} and
@code{__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1} may be set.")
