Not a problem.

Okay, I understand you now.

Thanks is strange.  The detection is done using `pkg query` or `pkg_info` as 
appropriate.  Do you perhaps have nvidia-driver port installed or a stale 
$PREFIX/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README?  If not, and you have time, I would 
like to diagnose the incorrect detection.  

On the user side, since you do not use the nvidia-driver, and the patching 
failed.  You are good to go.  :-)
