Remove this from you xorg.conf (see below why).

This is the result of the 'Load "dri"'-line above.

DRI is hardware accelleration for several *non-nVidia*-GPUs.
If you're using the nVidia-driver, DRI is useless.

In this particular case, libdri.a needs to resolve the
external symbol __glXgetActiveScreen, which simply isn't 
provided by nVidia's /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so. [1]

HTH,
Mario

Unresolved symbol in libdri.a (X.org)

[Louis LeBlanc]

Ok, I've done a good load of googling on this, and I've seen hundreds
of reports of this problem with X.org, but not a single solution.  I'm
at a loss.

First my config:
OS: 5.4-RELEASE-p8
X.org version: xorg-6.8.2 (built from ports)
video driver: nvidia-driver-1.0.7676_1 (built from ports)


My xorg.conf (only including what I suspect is relevant:

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection

# Not compatible with glx, which nvidia wants, so no composite in KDE
# Section "Extensions"
#   Option  "Composite" "Enable"
# EndSection

...

Section "Device"
Identifier "NV AGP TwinView"
VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
Driver "nvidia"
# update this with the PCI id of your card.  Consult the output
# of the 'lspci' command. The  BusID is usually optional when
# only using one graphics card.
BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
BoardName   "NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"

# These are extras that may need removal
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "NvAGP" "1" # Use NVIDIAs agp
Option "HWCursor" "True"
# Option "CursorShadow" "True"
# Option "EnableAGPFW" "1"  # Use Fast Writes

# twinview setup
Option "TwinView"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-80"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh"   "56-75"
Option "TwinViewOrientation""RightOf"
Option "MetaModes"  "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768"
Option "ConnectedMonitor"   "crt,crt"
EndSection


Now, the problem I'm seeing is in Xorg.0.log.  It appears there is
some kind of problem resolving a symbol somewhere, but I can't figure
out exactly where the problem is.

Here's an excerpt from Xorg.0.log:
...
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
(II) Loading extension XINERAMA
(==) RandR enabled
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
...

There are a couple other "inappropriate ioctl" warnings related to the
mouse and thumbball, though they are probably not related to this
problem.

Any ideas what the cause of this resolution problem is?

TIA
Lou

libdri.a

[Brian H]

Greetings:

Problem:
When I goto start xwindows with the startx command I get the following
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a
is unresolved!

Background:
Recently installed xfree 4.3.0 server and client from the ports directory 
after updating the ports tree. I set my display variable to localhost:0.0 
and when I run glxinfo I get the followoing: unable to open display (null)' 
I read the following tidbit: "The DRI kernel module version must exactly 
match your running kernel version.
Since there are so many versions of the kernel, it's difficult to provide 
precompiled kernel modules."

Is there someway I can verify this? What other ideas do you have to solve my 
problem?

Thanks,

Brian
