 |
|
having trouble with getting nvidia-glx installed correctly. I have been running nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx rev 8178, but my mythtv install wants something earlier than 7676. when I backed-off to the ealier versions, I have an issue with nvidia-glx, as "glxinfo" shows version 8178 installed. I tried both opengl-update and "eselect-opengl set nvidia" but neither seem to get me the correct (7676) version of glx. Can someone advise me as to the "proper way" to back down the nvidia driver/glx versions and get my system to recognize the proper set? Thanks for any advice...

well, if I put the first 2 lines into my package.keywords it seems to do the trick
| Code: | media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r3 ~x86
p4pe ~ # emerge -vp nvidia-glx
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1 [1.0.8178-r3] 5,499 kB
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r3 [1.0.8178-r1] USE="-dlloader" 0 kB |
if you want something before 7676 replace the above line with the following instead
| Code: | | =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r7 ~x86 |

I guess I was not clear. I can easily emerge the 7676 versions, but after successful emerge, glxinfo still shows that X is using the 8178 version of glx...even after a reboot. opengl-update does nothing to change this. I think I might need an older version of opengl-update, but the earliest ebuild I can find is 2.2.1.
thanks anyway for the help.

have you only 'emerged' nvidia drivers, or have you also downloaded them from NVidia site & installed them?
what does Xorg.0.log show?

...just used emerge
here is the text from Xorg.0.log:
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8178
Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
emerge worked fine, but the old version of GLX seems to be referenced. I assume the appropriate GLX library is point to by some link, which opengl-update sets. Can you tell me what this link is and where it SHOULD point?

mine is
| Code: | (II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8178
Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension GLX |
| Code: | p4pe ~ # cd /usr/lib/modules/extensions/
p4pe extensions # ls -la
total 2599
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 256 Apr 1 05:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 1048 Dec 22 08:37 ..

edit: you do have the correct linux link set up don't you.. e.g.
| Code: | # ls -la /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 29 06:49 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.16.1

thanks again for the help. my other data looks just like yours. All (at least all GLX) is well if I simply stay with 8178, but because of some OpenGL/Nvidia-8178 conflict, I want to revert to an earlier nvidia...just not haveing much success. I really think there is some problem with OLDER GLX version combined with a NEWER opengl-update...
