Thanks for the suggestion, Akemi and Mark.  When I try to use the ELRepo 
packages, kmod-nvidia conflicts with module-init-tools.

 The reason is in OpenGL version. You need at least v.1.5+ to be able to
 use the most recent ViEVO. As you can see from your logs, you have 3.3
 in case when you can successfully use it and 1.4 when you cannot.
 Perhaps RPMs are messed up. Please use drivers from nvidia web site,
 until SLC5 will resolve this issue.

 I, too, recommend installing ELRepo's nvidia packages (OK, I'm
 biased). They get updated in a timely manner (so far at least). If you
 install them now, it is version 260.19.29 (OpenGL 3.3.0). Unlike the
 Nvidia's installer, you do not need development software and there is
 no need to reinstall upon kernel updates (kABI-tracking kernel
 module).

 Devin

The module-init-tools version on your system has a bug as detailed here:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/Update

You need to update module-init-tools to the current version which has
the bug fixed. Either that or install the one provided by ELRepo.

yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo elrepo update module-init-tools kmod-nvidia

Thanks.  Once this replaced the module-init-tools from SL 5 base with 
module-init-tools from ELRepo (both 3.3-0.pre3.1.60.el5), I was able to install 
nvidia-drv-x11 and kmod-nvidia from ELrepo.  With this configuration, ViEVO 
works correctly.

I am a little hesitant to push module-init-tools from ELRepo to all of our SL5 
systems.  Is there any chance of incorporating the patched version of 
module-init-tools (or an nvidia driver that provides OpenGL 1.5+) into SL5?

Thanks again,
Devin

EVO video with nvidia drivers

2011-01-03 Thread Devin Bougie
Hi, All.  We have several SL5 systems using the proprietary nvidia driver from 
sl-contrib.  We did not have any trouble with these systems until we tried to 
view video in EVO (ViEVO).  We have no problem using EVO with the latest 
260.19.29 drivers downloaded and installed from nvidia.com.  However, we are 
unable to view video when using nvidia-x11-drv from sl-contrib or 
nvidia-graphics260.19.21 from atrpms.  In all cases, xorg.conf is essentially 
unchanged.

Please see below for example output from unsuccessful and successful attempts 
at running ViEVO.  Any suggestions for fixing this using the sl-contrib (or 
atrpms) drivers would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin

Looks like a DRI/GLX issue at first glance.  I've had very good luck 
with the ELrepo packages:
kmod-nvidia, nvidia-x11-drv combination.  Maybe you are missing the 
kernel module in the first instance.
