Nvidia beta drivers 1.0-9625 - with texture_from_pixmap !!

[Gusar]

Check this post on the nvnews forum and the site it links to. Nvidia now provides beta drivers for Linux. And the version they provide has GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap support!!

Go nvidia !!

The changelog:

* Added initial support for GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.
* Added new "Display Configuration" page in nvidia-settings.
* Improved workstation OpenGL performance in Xinerama.
* Added support for NVIDIA Quadro Plex.
* Added support for Quad SLI.
* Improved X driver error recovery.
* Improved workstation overlay performance.
* Added SMBus functionality to the Linux/i2c interface.
* Fixed DFP scaling support.
* Added support for OpenGL 2.1.
* Added new "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" X configuration option to control the order of display devices when in TwinView.

YES!!!!!11 Thanks for the post!

Here's a working (on x86) ebuild, based on nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774.ebuild, but removing the patches. Don't forget to also run:

Copy it again, into a text file. Works for me. Probably an issue with line-endings being added - use a graphical text editor.

I had to add the AddARGBGLXVisuals option to get Xgl to not hardlock my comp....

It works here at least

[Gergan Penkov]

well this could be the reason, it seems that this line is still there:

Code: Select all

econf --with-gl-libs="-Wl,-R/usr/$(get_libdir)/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ -lGL" \

at least in the official compiz and probably in xgl-coffee, which was ok so long there was no official support for them in the binary drivers, but now probably leads to this (try removing --with-gl-libs=.... and rebuilding against nvidia).

[iamarug]

I have been unable to install using this ebuild since it keeps wanting to use the freebsd driver package even though I am on AMD64.

I fiddled a bit with it, but I couldnt figure out what was wrong

[Cobra]

It still doesn't work... Oh, well... I'll try regular compiz...

[BlackEdder]

well this could be the reason, it seems that this line is still there:

Code: Select all

econf --with-gl-libs="-Wl,-R/usr/$(get_libdir)/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ -lGL" \

Brilliant! That fixes my problem. Finally I can use aiglx at home At work I could use it on my i915 driver and I really missed it at home.

[Cobra]

I just tried Beryl and... it works ! You just have to configure beryl-core with --with-system-mesa=yes .

[OddFox]

Works fine for me after making sure the custom ebuild uses the i2c patch, however now my resolution is only going up to 1280x1024, 1680x1050 is no longer being detected... gotta figure that one out. *sighs*

On the plus side though it's nice that they're finally getting these drivers out, even if they're beta ATM. Hopefully any rough edges are fixed soon and we can see the final release.

EDIT: Also, commenting out the --with-glx line in the compiz-quinnstorm ebuild doesn't seem to have harmed anything and it's chugging along wonderfully, probably a good idea to get that line edited out of the ebuild but I didn't check to see how things went w/o removing the line.

And another EDIT: Does anyone have any idea why my output for:

Code: Select all

ldd `which compiz`

This page http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77030 says that it should list libnvidia-tls.so.1.

Works fine for me after making sure the custom ebuild uses the i2c patch

Can you post the line you used in the ebuild to apply the patch.

Maybe I'm just tired, but I am pulling hairs trying to get the patch to apply.
The patch looks fine but always fails. I even double checked by manually editing the file and regenerating a new patch file just to be safe from any copy paste errors and it just won't apply.
(Patch looks identical to one posted.)

Find the section in the nvidia-drivers ebuild that looks like this:

Code: Select all

   # Use the correct defines to make gtkglext build work
   #epatch ${FILESDIR}/NVIDIA_glx-defines.patch
   # Use some more sensible gl headers and make way for new glext.h
   #epatch ${FILESDIR}/NVIDIA_glx-glheader.patch

And change it to look like this:

Code: Select all

   # Use the correct defines to make gtkglext build work
   #epatch ${FILESDIR}/NVIDIA_glx-defines.patch
   # Use some more sensible gl headers and make way for new glext.h
   #epatch ${FILESDIR}/NVIDIA_glx-glheader.patch
   # i2c bug in the latest drivers (1.0.9625)
   epatch ${FILESDIR}/NVIDIA_i2c.patch

Digest and merge.

Exactly what I have and fails. Very strange.

What message does it give you upon failing?
