Fix broken EGL installation

According to [a post on the Nvidia forums](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/560-release-feedback-discussion/300830/41), my EGL installation is broken, as `eglinfo` should say the vendor is Nvidia; on my system it returns:
```
EGL API version: 1.5
EGL vendor string: Mesa Project
EGL version string: 1.5
EGL client APIs: OpenGL OpenGL_ES 
```

I do have an Nvidia GPU with the 555.58.02 driver, so it sounds plausible to me that I should have an Nvidia installation. The Nvidia X Server Settings application, however, says the vendor _is_ Nvidia itself. Do I simply have two installations of EGL, and the DE/Gnome selects the wrong version at launch?
