Bumblebee - Wine installation

Hello.Fairly new Arch Linux user and still learning.
I have just installed bumblebee and it's up and running.

[andreas@arch-linux ~]$ optirun glxgears -info
GL_RENDERER   = GeForce GT 635M/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VERSION    = 4.4.0 NVIDIA 334.21
GL_VENDOR     = NVIDIA Corporation

Packages:

intel-dri
xf86-video-intel
bumblebee
nvidia.
intel-dri
xf86-video-intel

I'm now about to installing wine and got the question:

:: There are 3 providers available for lib32-libgl:
:: Repository multilib
   1) lib32-mesa-libgl  2) lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl  3) lib32-nvidia-libgl

Could someone give me a hint on which one i should use and what the difference is?

Re: Bumblebee - Wine installation

It's the GL implementation. Typically you want the nvidia implementation, but in the bumblebee case you want the mesa one. If you take a look at the docs, it says this in bright red box that it will find the correct one.

Warning: Do not install lib32-nvidia-libgl. Bumblebee will find the correct lib32 NVIDIA libraries without it.
