I'm having trouble getting opengl working with nvidia-drivers. The info in my log file is as follows
| Code: | [455206.327] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[455206.327] (II) Loading /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

but the file it points to (/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so) is actually a soft link to an ATI driver!
| Code: | fred@gentoo ~ $ cd /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions/
fred@gentoo /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions $ ls
libglx.so
fred@gentoo /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions $ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 14 2013 libglx.so -> ../../../opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so
fred@gentoo /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions $
|
I don't really understand why it points here, where should it point to though? I've selected opengl correctly
| Code: | fred@gentoo /var/log $ eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] nvidia *
[2] xorg-x11
fred@gentoo /var/log $
|
and I have this in my make.conf
| Code: | VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
|
so why is it not working? I've seen references to a bug along these lines but not quite found a solution.
My graphics card is as follows
| Code: | 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G96GL [Quadro FX 580] (rev a1)
|
and I'm using nvidia-drivers-340.76 with kernel linux-4.1.1-gentoo-r1 |

Ok, fixed it by just deleting the soft link
/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
and working now. I used to have an ATI card once but don't know why it has only just become a problem as it was several years ago! |
