 |
|
hi there, i got the problem that my GLX disappeared 1 week ago...
i have a NVIDIA TNT2 PCI-32MB, this card was working for approx 6 months, but suddenly my GLX extensions are not working anymore. i tried ALL nvidia-kernels which are in portage right NOW the only 2 working kernels(startx is fine) are : 1.0.7174 & 1.0.7167-r1 but both without GLX 
my GLX was working fine with nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 + nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4 (i guess i lost GLX when updating to glx-1.0.7174-r5)
but r4 isnt in portage anymore, but i am not sure about it , thats the reason why i ask here for help... or any hint why my GLX is not working anymore...
i didnt change anything in xorg.conf
i didnt change or update the kernel
i didnt change any USEFLAG
thx a lot

Hi Mgiese,
I am a newcomer to Nvidia card, but I have just used the stable version (nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 and nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r6) for my MX420, and GLX works. I just had to use | Code: | | opengl-update nvidia |
to have the glx with Nvidia.
If it does not work, check that there is still the in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
And last, try to unmerge the 1.0.7167-r1and to put the older one, to see if it works.

| Have you updated the linux kernel recently? If so (or if you're not sure) double check that everything is set properly. |

GLX is loadet in xorg.conf !
and with 6629 i cant use my card in cause of graphic errors when X appears, just 7174 and 7167 are working fine here..
but thx was a try worth
