Hi,

Nvidia Optimus 361.28 manual says:
Quote:
Some versions of the “modesetting” driver try to load a sub-module called “glamor”, which conflicts with the NVIDIA GLX implementation. Please ensure that the libglamoregl.so X module is not installed.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/361.28/README/randr14.html

So should I uninstall glamor at all? Or is just case of configuration in Gentoo? Does some use glamor + nvidia optimus in configuration which works?


Code:
# emerge -s glamor

It looks to me like this would require building xorg-server without the glamor USE flag.

Code:

 # locate libglamor
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so
 # equery b /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so ...
x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4 (/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so)
 # eix xorg-server

Looks like only xorg-server uses glamor:
Code:
# equery h glamor
 * Searching for USE flag glamor ...
[IP-] [  ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.2:0/1.18.2


I will try to recompile it without this USE flag and see if nvidia works.

This is my old Xorg.0.log:
Code:
[  2228.295] (II) Loading sub module "glamoregl"
[  2228.295] (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl"

I got the same error .startx returns a black screen, and closed after a few seconds.
Kernel-4.4.39, nvidia-drivers-375.26, Xorg-server 1.18.4, the Xorg.0.log says:
Code:

[  2228.304] (EE) modeset(G0): eglInitialize() failed
[  2228.305] (EE) modeset(G0): glamor initialization failed

I believe we should rebuild xorg-server without glamor USE, or try to use xorg-server1.17.
Any one who have already solved this problem?
