Re: XFree86 + NV_GLX
I don't mind most of the logic of this, but I must say the following: (1) I dont use NVdriver in X, I use nvidia instead of nv. (2) Removing the libGLcore.a causes the GLcore module to not load, and the only way to fix this is to reinstall xserver-xfree86. This does cause some undefined symbols in my X load, but not ones which stop the server from loading and functioning [seemingly] ok. (3) Removing all trace of MESA is causing fun, because packages depend on mesag3, and it seems that any update of these overwrites the NV-installed GLX. Am I off the beaten track? Cheers, Corey J.

RE: XFree86 + NV_GLX
Hi list, about the nvidia drivers. I am running woody with xfree 4.0.1 and it all works great. While installing the nvidia drivers I do remove the conflicting mesa files. No big problem. But since I upgrade almost daily I have to reinstall the nvidia stuff since mesa is messing things up. Is there a way to solve this the debian way ? debianize the nvidia drivers somehow to solve the conflict with mesa ? I am using a neat shellscript from loki that makes it easy to check your system. http://www.lokigames.com/~heimdall/nvidia/nv_check.sh /Joakim
