[solved] cant start apps, "libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast"

Hi there,
my problem is, that several applications won't start anymore, like mendeleydesktop, kaddressbook, calibre and so on.

I get the following error:

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

My settings are

$ uname -a
Linux Legolas 4.9.13-1-lts #1 SMP Mon Feb 27 21:32:16 CET 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ lspci | grep NVIDIA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106GLM [Quadro 2000M] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

Packages installed:

$ pacman -Ss nvidia
extra/libvdpau 1.1.1-2 [Installiert]
extra/nvidia 378.13-2 [Installiert]
extra/nvidia-lts 378.13-3 [Installiert]
extra/nvidia-utils 378.13-3 [Installiert]
community/nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-4 [Installiert]

Could anyone please give me a hint on what to do about it....?!

Greetings

If you replace mesa-libgl and lib32-mesa-libgl with nvidia-libgl and lib32-nvidia-libgl does that resolve the issue?
