 |
|
Hi, I spent whole day trying to get Nvidia DRI working .... its a real pain
This is what Xlog gives me
| Code: | (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
(==) RandR enabled
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
|
Searched through the forum and tried the following (various permutations)...
not loading glx (using "nvidia" driver)
emerged, unmerged, remerged...
(keywords are ~x86 because of kernel 2.6.7)
| Code: |
emerge -C nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
|
did opengl update
| Quote: | | opengl-update nvidia |
switched from xfree to xorg-x11
used the nvidia installer directly
actually i'm really pissed off |

Have a look at your xorg.conf and change
to
That should fix it.

that eliminated the symbol messages... unfortunately there is still
| Code: |
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
(==) RandR enabled
...
|
is there a way to get more details why glx failed? |

Is the kernel-module succesfully loaded?
Have you checked "Use register argumens" in your cernelconfig?
If so, it breaks the nvidia drivers.
Unless you've installed the latest nvidia-drivers, the option "use 4k stacks" also breaks the binary modules. |

ok... its working now
i modified the X config..
as you said in the modules section DRI should not be loaded.... but GLX must! be loaded...
weird... that must have changed from 1-2 years ago ^^ |
