OK, "glxinfo | grep direct" shows: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual So, it's as you said nvidiafb here. Today I tried to build a nvidia.ko on my own, like the way you described it earlier this month on this list: >>Build one. Add a normal 32-bit mirror's deb-src to /etc/apt/sources.list >>(e.g. "deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian unstable non-free"). >>Install some building-related bits & bobs ("apt-get build-dep >>nvidia-glx"). Download the package source ("apt-get source nvidia-glx"). >>Change to that folder ("cd nvidia*"). If building >7174 on Sarge, tweak >>debian.binary/rules (change DH_COMPAT to some smaller number like 3 or >>2). Run "dpkg-buildpackage". Change down a folder ("cd .."). Install the >>kernel source package ("dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-source_*_amd64.deb"). >>Install module-assistant and build-essential - and an appropriate GCC if >>not using your standard system gcc for kernels (e.g. on Sarge, you must >>install gcc-3.4 here or you'll get misleading rivafb errors - use "cat >>/proc/version" to check; "aptitude install module-assistant >>build-essential"). Compile & install the kernel module ("m-a a-i >>nvidia"). Load the module (If you've an older module loaded, then run >>"modprobe -r nvidia" first. Then, "modprobe nvidia && echo nvidia >> >>/etc/modules"). Install the driver packages ("dpkg -i nvidia-glx*"). >>Tell X to use nvidia instead of nv ("dpkg-reconfigure >>xserver-(xfree86|xorg)"). Restart X ("/etc/init.d/*dm restart"). Building the nvidia-kernel went fine. But I can't build nvidia-glx. If I try the "dpkg-buildpackage" it shows this errormessages at the end: 8<------- BFD: debian/nvidia-glx-ia32/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/stXfCFyW: warning: allocated section `.bss' not in segment BFD: debian/nvidia-glx-ia32/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/tls/stWiGLVU: The first section in the PT_DYNAMIC segment is not the .dynamic section strip: debian/nvidia-glx-ia32/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/tls/stWiGLVU: Bad value BFD: debian/nvidia-glx-ia32/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/tls/stWiGLVU: The first section in the PT_DYNAMIC segment is not the .dynamic section strip: debian/nvidia-glx-ia32/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/tls/stWiGLVU: Bad value dh_strip: command returned error code 256 make[1]: *** [binary-common] Fehler 1 make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis »/usr/src/nvidia-graphics-drivers-1.0.8756« make: *** [binary-arch] Fehler 2 -------->8 What's wrong here? I tried to build the package with gcc 3.4 and 4.0 - but it had the same problem.
