Hi all.
I've recently downloaded & run the installer from nvidia and it has
almost, but not quite, worked. I'm running the 2.6.14 kernel in Debian
unstable, and my problem is related to the glx component. In my
xorg.conf, if I add the Load "glx" line to the modules section, X fails
to load with a:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting.
The relevant section in the Xorg.0.log (as far as I can tell) is:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1152x864"
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
(==) RandR enabled
If I remove the Load "glx" line X loads fine, but without the glx
extensions (obviously). The relevant part of xdpyinfo is:
number of extensions: 33
BIG-REQUESTS
Composite
DAMAGE
DOUBLE-BUFFER
DPMS
Extended-Visual-Information
FontCache
LBX
MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
MIT-SHM
MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD
NV-CONTROL
NV-GLX
NV-GLX
RANDR
RECORD
RENDER
SECURITY
SHAPE
SYNC
TOG-CUP
X-Resource
XC-APPGROUP
XC-MISC
XFIXES
XFree86-Bigfont
XFree86-DGA
XFree86-Misc
XFree86-VidModeExtension
XInputExtension
XKEYBOARD
XTEST
XVideo
default screen number: 0
number of screens: 1
So basically my question is this: does anyone know why I can't start X
with the load "glx" line in my xorg.conf?
