Nvidia GLX trouble

[Rahan]

Hi,

I currently have the same probleme than the guy who didn't install nvidia-glx :
(X runs well but no GLX)
Xorg.log :

(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)

but I did installed it.

previously, in the same file, i can see

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.7676
Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension GLX
(II) LoadModule: "nv"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o
(II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.0.1
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7

I tried to use the nvidia kernel and glx version 6929 then 7676 with the same error.
I tried to use nvidia driver as module in the kernel ... same.


Someone could help ? plz ...

My config:
A8N SLI
Geforce6600GT
AMD K8
kernel 2.6.12

Did you specify "nv" as driver instead of "nvidia" in your Xorg.conf? In that case you're using the open source driver, which does not support 3D acceleration. Also, in case you activated AGP/DRM/Nvidia directly in the kernel, try disabling those. The binary driver takes care of these already.

1. Did you removed the # in front of Load "glx" ?
2. Did you run opengl-update nvidia ?

Hi and thank u for your replies.

I did add 'load glx' and run 'opengl-update nvidia'.
I also tried with 'nv' driver. The X server don't even start with it.
Actually, the kernel include the nvidia stuff, I will try without and I 'll keep U informed.

regards,

Vinc

you have to change drivers name from nv to nvidia, and do not try installing one driver and then other, they conflict (i use 7676 but i had to remove and reemerge X to upgrade to it, because without removing X and old driver i had conflicts, just reemerging is not enough, you have to remove it first with all folders, because emerge does nothing with later installed drivers) when using 7676 dont use opengl-update nvidia, just leave the default, to do so compile the driver from package without using emerge(just ru it)
