 Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2004 3:25 pm Post subject: nvidia 1.0.6106 driver problem |
 |
|
Hi guys,
i've recompiled the kernel, linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r11, the sym link in /usr/src/linux points to it.
When i reboot i can't start xfree, ok, i've to recompile the nvidia drivers.
If i use the stable version the drivers won't load and modprobe, even insmod tells me
".... path-to-module: -1 Invalid module format"
Ok, just upgraded to the unstable version using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", the drivers compile succesfully and i can load it, so i've emerged with the same system nvidia-glx.
Here comes the problem:
Now i can play to quake3, but i can't play to army ops and ut2004-demo
| Code: |
monto@m0nt0 monto $ armyops
Could not load OpenGL library
History:
Exiting due to error
monto@m0nt0 monto $ ut2004demo
Could not load OpenGL library
History:
Exiting due to error
monto@m0nt0 monto $
|
Same problem running legends, the game doesn't start and a popup message tells me | Code: | | "Unable to initialize OpenGL. (Could not load OpenGL library)" |
Another (i think) similar problem is with nwn:
| Code: | monto@m0nt0 monto $ nwn
./nwmain: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
monto@m0nt0 monto $
|
What can I do? Please help meee!!
Nvidia geforce4 64Mb
P4Mobile 2.4 GHz
512 RAM

| Ummm, i'm not sure but I think You have to install the mesa and mesa-glu packages. Don't worry about them being masked. |

| Did you use "opengl-update nvidia" ? |

NOT MESA! Mesa is a software renderer. opengl-update might work... |

Does it work if you launch the game like so:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /path/to/game
?

thanks for the suggestion but the problem isn't fixed.
I've followed some hints in a similar post in the kernle hardware secion, i've downgraded the kernel and installed the stable nvidia driver:
| Code: | monto@m0nt0 monto $ emerge -p nvidia-kernel
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3
monto@m0nt0 monto $ emerge -p nvidia-glx
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496-r2
monto@m0nt0 monto $ emerge -p glut
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/glut-3.7.1
monto@m0nt0 monto $ ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jul 25 10:42 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1/monto@m0nt0 monto $
|
don't know if you need more info..
I've done "opengl-update nvidia", but this won't fix the problem, same thing with LD_PRELOAD, this solution works with nwn, armyops and ut2004.
But i can't play legends, ok, it's no necessary, but why it doesn't work?
thank you guys

as far as the ut2004 problem.
The game loads some tls drivers and than you get that error message. Remove or rename the tls directory in /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia
ut2004 should work afterwards |

Well that solved my problem thanks for the help! But I'm curious, what is the TLS library for exactly?
