E.g., REAPER: failed to load driver: swrast

Cannot launch e.g, REAPER with the Debian Runtime (at least on a machine with a Nvidia GPU). Terminal shows:

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

TODO: Check whether it works on non-Nvidia (e.g., Intel) machines?

Could installing mesa-utils and libgl1-mesa-glx in the Linux userland improve this? Would we also need to install Nvidia drivers on the Linux userland side?

It seems like Nouveau is hardcoded in swrast_dri.so in the Linux userland rather than the official Nvidia driver?

(if we can't find a solution, we may need to contact Aaron Plattner at Nvidia who knows about these things)

I managed to install and run Reaper DAW (Linux version) on FreeBSD using the linux-c7-libs (for ALSA and X support) with propietary nvidia-driver.

The GUI loads in perfect condition but it crashes when selecting audio interface (But, at least only ALSA is working).

I'm trying to find a way to make Reaper can use the JACK instance (It can't recognise JACK running)

Looks like we have to follow a rather lengthy procedure and install Nvidia drivers in Debian as well, and then launch Chrome-based applications in a special way. This describes it for Ubuntu:
