[SOLVED] Cannot remove mesa

EDIT: Don't need to remove mesa, progl wrapper takes care of using prop driver for desired programs.

I am switching over to the AMD pro driver for OpenGL as I need it for Davinci Resolve. I have installed the AUR package for the proprietary driver, but I cannot remove mesa:

$ sudo pacman -Rns mesa
[sudo] password for access: 
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by glmark2
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by gst-plugins-base-libs
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by gtk3
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by lib32-mesa
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by libglvnd
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'opengl-driver' required by libglvnd
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by qt5-base
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by xf86-video-amdgpu
:: removing mesa breaks dependency 'mesa' required by xorg-server-devel

As a result, Davinci Resolve reports an unsupported GPU configuration. Any help appreciated!

amdgpu-pro comes with the progl command that you should use to run things you intend to use the proprietary implementation.-

Oh ok so that's what that means...

Requires running Resolve with the progl wrapper script. See documentation.

Which documentation? I can't find this anywhere, usage is not very clear at all.

Also, do you mean that I don't need to remove mesa? Does the progl script take care of using the prop driver?

Fantastic. I'll edit with a link to that from the Davinci Resolve wiki.
