Bug Description

On Wayland only, offloading works for `glxinfo` but cannot run 3D app like X-Plane 11:

$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor string"
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia ./X-Plane\ 11/X-Plane-x86_64
Whoah -- no matter how hard I tried, I failed to get a GLX visual. Something's seriously wonky on your machine.

suggests the driver is not installed properly. Please try reinstalling it:

  sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver-530 nvidia-dkms-530

and reboot.

If the problem continues after that then please run:

  lspci -k > lspci.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt
  dpkg -l > packages.txt

and attach the resulting text files here.

Should create a separate bug for Nvidia daemon issue?
