Installing opencl causes intel glx module to fail loading

[Alexandre J. Raymond]

I installed libopencl-dev on my laptop with an i915 chipset.

This in turn caused the libopencv-ocl2.4 dependency to be installed, which in turn caused the nvidia-304 packages to be installed to satisfy the libopencl1 virtual package dependency.

Afterwards, when I restarted my computer, unity wouldn't load and I found an error message in Xorg.log stating that the *Nvidia* glx module had failed to load.

The workaround was to:
apt-get remove nvidia-304 nvidia-304-updates
apt-get install libopencl-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1

I will post the exact log contents tomorrow.

Here is the Xorg log file for the normal behavior
