FreeBSD 7.1, Xorg 7.4, Nvidia

2009-01-25 Thread Jeff Molofee
I upgrade to Xorg 7.4 yesterday, and now I can't seem to start gnome. 
For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on. startx and X 
both start fine... (that is how I am able to type this email). But when 
starting the machine, my screen just flashes a few times and returns to 
the console. Looking at Xorg.0.log I see the same error a few others are 
getting...


dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol
miZeroLineScreenIndex
(EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/modules//libfw.so
(EE) Failed to load module wfb (loader failed 7)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found

I am also not able to use Vesa or NV (both options that have worked in 
the past when having issues with the Nvidia driver).


I have read updating, and none of the advice has helped.

I have even tried the 180.22 driver.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get Gnome/GDM working again? I 
don't care if I have 3d, as long as I have a usuable system until 
drivers or issues are resolved.

I had the exact same issue.  I played around so much I don't know
/exactly/ what helped but the following might:
1) restart hald, devd, the computer
2) use xf86-video-nv
3) run X -configure again
4) recompile xorg-server
5) These same steps in a different order.

Someone mentioned that I installed xorg after nvidia-driver which messed
up some symlink or another.  As far as I could tell this is not true.
