|
|
I remember a warning that nvidia drivers didn't work with pre versions of glibc 2.3.2. Does that warning still apply to glibc 2.3.2 release?
Thanks in advance,
Norberto |

works for me .. but if you try it, don't give up and recompile the old one because I already saw some problems with that |

be warned, due to a change in the handling of errno, glibc-2.3.2 breaks wine among other things. _________________ Excellent.. |

Oh oh.... Well, that's fine with me: I don't 'drink' wine. Beer, if it is free, it's much better
Seriously, thanks for the advice. So far, nothing is broken.
Best regards,

I have a number of bugs due to glibc-2.3.2,
All the errno ones; All seem fixed now except for <vmware-4beta and any wine(x).
Also a strange bug causes ld from binutils to fail while compiling some silly link lines.
Those are the only known issues after a few weeks of testing. You decide ... |

512 mb ? 1Gb ? ramm ?
emerge memtest86 and test your ramm
broken ramm causes allot of strange and unpredictable errors |

if you use nptl and glibc 2.3.2 it CLEARLY states a warning that it will not work with the nVidia GLX driver. |

Ok.. It's working now..
vanilla kernel sources -> work,
gentoo kernel sources -> oops

I don't think that's a glibc-2.3.2 problem, because, for one, I don't think kernel modules use glibc and for another I heard this problem with nvidia modules and high memory support reported a while back. _________________ Excellent.. |

What does the ntpl flag do? I can't find it in the flag.desc (or however that file is named)

Compiles against the Native POSIX Threading Library instead of Linux Threads.
It's supposedly better, at least it has bragging rights to it's name, Andrew Morton ran his 64K threads at once claim to fame using it.
As I understand it nptl is far more scalable than linuxthreads. |
