 Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2010 8:07 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Failed to load module dri/dri2. Is that a problem? |
 |
|
I have a nvidia graphicscard and use Nvidias own binary driver. When running startx, X starts and shows some xterm windows, and I get in the output after closing X:
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)
Do I not need dri (dri2?) to get some speed? If so, how do I get it?

If you had simply followed gentoo's documentation regarding nVidia, you would have known that dri is to be commented out of xorg.conf.
| Code: | Section "Module"
(...)
# Load "dri"
Load "glx"
(...)
EndSection |
Everything is there ! : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml
The quality of its documentation is part of Gentoo's fame ! |

grep dri /etc/X11/xorg.conf
find nothing. That sounds a bit strange. |

If you are using the nvidia supplied drivers, then neither dri nor dri2 will be loaded as they are already inside the nvidia code.
You can ignore those messages, if you don't want to see them then add this to the xorg.conf file
| Code: | Section "Module"
Disable "dri"
Disable "dri2"
EndSection
|
You will still get a warning message, but no error ones

 Hmmm...
undulat had (EE) messages...
These are not warnings and as far as I know Xorg, they just cannot be ignored |

With the disable lines above I see no warnings. |

| Nvidia doesn't use neither DRI nor DRI2, so these messages are harmless. |

I should have said you would get messages, not warnings
| Code: | (WW) "dri" will not be loaded unless you've specified it to be loaded elsewhere.
(WW) "dri2" will not be loaded unless you've specified it to be loaded elsewhere.
(II) "dri" will be loaded even though the default is to disable it.
(II) "dri2" will be loaded even though the default is to disable it. |
Edit to add: Since this is solved, please add "solved" to the original post-title
