'nv' is the nvidia driver that comes with the kernel. The packages from
nvidia.com install the "nvidia" driver. I just double checked my
XF86Config (to make sure I'm not tripping) and this is correct.
If you did 'rpm --rebuild' on the nvidia.src RPM's then you'll have to rpm -i
the resulting packages. As was mentioned, you'll probably have better luck
using the src rpms' rather than the prebuilt ones.
Try this:
ldd `which glxgears`
This is what I get:
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x4001e000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4006b000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40078000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40132000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40146000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40167000)
libGLcore.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0x40282000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40715000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
You need to make sure that libGL and libGLcore.so.1 are pointing to the nvidia
drivers:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root \
17 2003-01-30 21:26 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.4191
[troy@Saiph /etc/X11]
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root \
21 2003-01-30 21:26 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.4191
Let us know what you find out. It would also be a helpful to see the full text
of your startx output:
$ startx >xlog 2>&1
We'll get there yet!
