 Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2006 1:59 am Post subject: Nvidia problem, can't load glx [solved (sort of)] |
 |
|
I'm at wit's end trying to get glx to work with my new nvidia card which I purchased for great linux compatibility. Doh!
I'm posting all of the information I can think and will happily post more. I tried to search through the forums and on google extensively, but I admit I may have missed something. I get the sense that the forum search doesn't work well with three letter strings.
It's a AMD64 setup, if that makes any difference. Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
| Code: | eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] nvidia *
[2] xorg-x11 |
I had to make a symlink to get the nvidia card to work.
| Code: | ls -al /usr/lib64/modules/drivers | grep nvidia
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 17 21:22 nvidia_drv.o -> /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o |
I may have to make a symlink for libglx as well, but it seems it is already there (the second is a symlink to the last one)
| Code: | find /usr/ -name 'libglx*'
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.la
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
/usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.a
/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so |
The module seems to be loaded into the kernel.

Did you recently move to xorg-7.x?
This shouldn't be needed: | Code: | ls -al /usr/lib64/modules/drivers | grep nvidia
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 17 21:22 nvidia_drv.o -> /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o |

I know, it's weird. The solution to my problem (I discovered it) was to do another symlink for the libglx file. It seems unnecessary and this was a new install. I was going to try to do xorg-x11 7, but it was going to block the nvidia driver so I decided against it.
I don't know why it's doing that. |
