Hi,
I tried XFree86 4.2.99 that comes with redhat phoebe. i'm using geforce 2 mx
GPU on an nforce based system. as far as teh nvidia drivers go, everything
compiles fine and i changed XF86Config to load 'nvidia' drivers and removed
loading DRI as per nvidia's instructions. i have 2 situations:
1. with load "glx" in XF86Config,
startx crashes with the following log (only relevant part due to size
limits)
(II) NVIDIA(0): AGP 4X successfully initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
(II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST
(II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
(II) Initializing built-in extension LBX
(II) Initializing built-in extension XC-APPGROUP
(II) Initializing built-in extension SECURITY
(II) Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA
(II) Initializing built-in extension XFree86-Bigfont
(II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
(II) [GLX]: Initializing GLX extension
*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server aborting.
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
2. with no load "glx" in XF86Config
everything is OK except for lacking OpenGL support.
i checked ldd ..../glxgears and it says i'm using correct nvidia GLX
libraries.
any suggestions/ideas/fixes?
thanks,
Venkat.
my XF86Config file looks like:
