After last upgrade from SL6.7 to SL 6.8, nvidia driver from ELrepo
does not work properly with Cadence PCB. (Allegro)
On opening Cadence PCB we get a white window instead of a black one
with a grid.
Is this an OpenGL issue ?
Below package installed :
kmod-nvidia-367.44-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-detect-367.44-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
yum-plugin-nvidia-1.0.2-1.el6.elrepo.noarch
nvidia-x11-drv-367.44-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
kernel Linux 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64
Downloading driver from nvidia and rebuilding for new kernel works
fine for PCB.
Thanks in advance for support.
I uninstalled nvidia driver with nvidia-uninstall then I installed
driver from ELrepo.
kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.96-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-detect-367.44-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.96-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-32bit-340.96-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
To get more output while starting Allegro :
setenv LIBGL_DEBUG verbose

libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Termination codes: exit=3, signal=11, errno=11
adding /usr/lib/nvidia to LD_LIBRARY_PATH fixed the error
I hope this will be useful for Allegro PCB Designer.
