 Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 2:22 am Post subject: X w/ NVIDIA drivers refused to start w/ Load glx option |
 |
|
For some reason, my X refuses to start with the Modules Load glx uncommented. The nvidia-kernel module loads fine, and I've tried several versions of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. None of them seem to be working. I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.10-r7 for a kernel.
Here is the end of Xorg.0.log

When Load glx is uncommented, the servers dies with a "Connection reset by peer". Anyone know whats going on, cuz there is no sense in using nvidia drivers If I can't use glx 
Edit: My xorg.conf that doesn't work.

| What version of glibc do you have installed. I hear that version 2.3.5 breaks the nvidia-glx part. Try installing 2.3.4 if you have 2.3.5 installed and try again. |

After I downgrade, what exactly do I need to recompile. Just nvidia-glx?

Ok, so I have a friend in dorm running gentoo on an HP Pavilion laptop, Nvidia GeForce4 440, and an Athlon-XP processor. He gets the exact same error, but he is using on of the revisions of glibc-2.3.4. We are both stumped, anybody know what that could be caused by?

| I had the same problem after updating to glibc 2.3.5 until today. The latest revision of nvidia-glx (media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3) and glibc 2.3.5 are working fine for me. |

Just wanted to mention that I upgraded to unstable media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3 and X wouldn't start for me either. Downgraded to media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r1 by:
1. Adding
| Quote: | | =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3 |
in /etc/portage/package.mask
2. emerge -Cp nvidia-glx
3. emerge -vpD nvidia-glx
4. /etc/init.d/xdm stop
5. /etc/init.d/xdm zap
6. /etc/init.d/xdm start
Voila, X is alive.  |

He was using the 6626. We upgraded it to 7174 version, and now it starts, but the nvidia splash doesn't show. X seems to partially initilize, but no graphhics show up, and it won't start gdm. It hardlocks, before it just failed, now it hardlocks, and you can't reset X. I had to ssh in and zap it.
edit: The log has several Unresolved Symbol errors, all libdri.a

Hi,
I am installing the whole thing today and the dri problem I already solved. You shouldn't use dri if you use the nvidia things, so just comment the
out in the xorg.conf file.
That should solve these problems. I go on looking. Read you. |

After removing the dri things, it started.
I use ~amd64 and everything from today's portage tree. I reemerge nvidia-glx. I set the screen resolution to 1280x1024 and before, I had a restriction on the frequency, which I removed. Not it seems to work without problem, at least I get the logo and the screen looks nice. Only one small problem.
glxgears runs at 5.6 fps.
Here are the interesting sections:
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
# Load "dri"
Load "xtrap"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "Unknown Board"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
I have a PCI-E graphics card, but strangely, on another forum I read that you should specify:
I don't know why, but as at least I have a nice screen, It's okay. Except from glxgears it's okay. |

Got a quite similar problem, after upgrading to the r3 version my xorg stops loading with a black screen, but my pc is not hardlocked, num lock for instance does still work.
I can also reset it via ctrl alt del but i cant do anything else.
The log shows clearly where it hangs

The problem is, even downgrading to the r1 version did not work. I am a little lost right now i have to disable the loading of the glx extension otherwise i have no xorg. I also not using glibc 2.5 i am using

Yesterday i tried reverting to older versions, but it is no use. I will try to use glibc 2.5 today.
What i actually realised is a skew in my cflags, i accidently set 2 cflags and no cxx flags, i suppose that might cause some trouble, so i will recompile everything i compiled with those cflag settings... |

What i was actually thinking 'bout scout  can you think of the last things you emerged before your glx stoped working? I am pretty sure which were the last things i emerged, and not too much of them have anything in common with the glx.
Well the last things i emerged before my glx stopped working were:
| Code: |
ncurses, python, libglade, gal, grep, libgcrypt, libtasn, libtool, gnutls, libsoup, libIDL, orbit, libbonobo, libgnome, evolution (and all of its tiny helper things) libbonoboui gail, libgtkhtml, opengl-update
|
And the only things that i suppose to interfere with the glx are the gnutls and the opgengl-updatem probably even libtool. I am not so sure about the gnutls thing, cause i might mix it up with something else.
I hope that this might help someone to come to a solution... otherwise i have to play World of Warcraft with windows |

I'm using these:

[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 -3dfx -3dnow +bitmap-fonts +cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server +hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal +mmx +nls +opengl +pam -sdk +sse -static +truetype-fonts -type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv 0 kB
[ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 0 kB
[ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3 0 kB
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5 -build -debug -erandom +hardened -multilib +nls -nomalloccheck -nptl -nptlonly +pic -userlocales 0 kB
|
and get the same thing. I can however alt+F1 and get back to my login after X just dies. |

glibc-2.3.5 breaks the nvidia glx module. He has to downgrade to glibc-2.3.4.
See post #3
| Code: |
# echo "=sys-libs/glibc=2.3.5" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
# emerge glibc
|
That was my initiale problem

Well the funny thing is, it also wont work with glibc 2.3.4 ... but at any rate with the r3 revision of the nvidia-glx it also should work with the 2.3.5 glibc
I have tried everything now ... even re prelinking did not help at any rate, im absolutely lost. We could file a bug request but i suppose it wont help us at all ... maybe it is something with a config file, did somebody try a different X server? like the old xfree? probably that might help? |

Dunno, when I upgraded to glibc-2.3.5 my glx stopped working, when I downgraded to 2.3.4 it started working again. I am running 7147-r3 for glx and 7147 for kernel.

I found the solution!
Revert your opengl-update to the version before 2.2.1 its somehow broken on my system as soon as i started using the old one everything is back up running!
Well and do opengl-update xorg-x11 and after that directly opengl-update nvidia then it ran again here at my place! |
