Ixthusdan Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 My wife shouldn't let me post late at night! In my previous post, I meant "Capitalized" and not ALL caps, and the word "star" should be converted to "hash mark"! If you look at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions, you should find the file libglx.so is a symbolic link to another file. I still think that was a problem spot before. With Nvidia, the file should link to libglx.so.1.0.XXXX, where XXXX is the driver version you are using. According to your Config file, the nvidia driver is loading!! But, I recall that these drivers only work with XFree86 4.X, so I am sure your machine is using a Mandrake driver. So, to answer the question, yes, go back to XFree 4.2.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted January 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 OK, I think I have found the problem. bvc, I did the "rpm -qa | grep NVIDIA " and this is the reply: NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.19-16mdk-1.0-2960.1mdk NVIDIA_kerne--1.0-4191 NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191 So then I did " rpm -qla | grep NVIDIA " and got this reply: /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.19-16mdk-1.0 /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.19-16mdk-1.0/README That is the first 2 lines; the rest is similar to yours. Well, it looks as tho I gotta remove the old 2960 stuff I installed awhile back. Before I did your suggestion I did try to go back to XFree 4.x.x and had no luck. Oh and as for my shutdown/reboot problem with NFS, Gltz mentions that the workaround would be to disable APMD. So, how/where do I go to do that?? It's rather annoying having to shut off the computer when it gets to the part about the NFS prob. Especially when I have this driver prob to correct. Later. Pepse.

bvc Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 uninstall all...try rpm -ef NVIDIA* you may have to include the whole string rpm -ef NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.19-16mdk-1.0-2960.1mdk.xxx.rpm (whatever the entire name is) Then reinstall the new.

Pepse Posted January 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 OK, so as I understand this I uninstall the "2960" files and I re-install the "4191" files?? Just want to make sure I got it. Also, as for uninstalling; do I put the # in front of the string or..............?? I'll deal with the "NFS" prob after this. Later. Pepse.

bvc Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Uninstall both 2960 and 4191, then reinstall the 4191. when I was a user; [bvc@localhost bvc]$ I had a $ at the prompt. when root; [root@localhost bvc]# I have a # It's just a notifier, so one of them will already be there. You just need to type the commands; rpm -ef to remove and rpm -ivh to install. if rpm -ef kicks back a message and won't uninstall, type; rpm -ef --nodeps NVIDIA_blah.blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted January 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 NO luck. I think I am missing something in the way I do it. Just so you know I use Ixthusdan's post from page 1 that starts "You may have a slight mess, but that's what makes it fun" to load the stuff and make changes in "mc". But, also, I am doing this thru "failsafe" as I don't trust doing this from a console thru XFree 3.3.6 W/ experimental 3D. I don't want to mess that up and not have anything. Also, (I think because of being in "failsafe) I cant check XF86Config-4. But, I did try "urpmi /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/*.rpm " and this was the reply: Module nvidia loaded, with warnings. nvidia.0 installed successfully --WARNING!! libglx.a libGLcore.a libGL.so.1.0.2960 libGL.a libGL.so.1.0 libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1.3.403 ---The above files possibly belong to a conflicting MESA rpm, ---or to a previous stale NVIDIA distribution ---They have been renamed to xxx. <originalFile>.RPMSAVE to avoid conflicting with the files contained within this package. And then of course I went back and set it for XFree 4.x.x and nothing changed. Also, there is no file in the nVidia area pertainging to the new software. Oh, and being that I removed all that I could "mc" is not acting up; it is stable. Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted February 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Well, after a few days of doing nothing about my prob I decided to get back to it. Strange, now I am in XFree 4.2.1 W/generic nVidia driver. I decided to go back a troubleshoot the prob and set the XFree for 4.2.1 and rebooted and this time it worked. So, with some info I downloaded from dolsons tutorial site for nVidia drivers I decided to see what I have. To shorten this a bit....I went to [root@localhost extensions]# and typed ls libglx* . and the reply is: libglx.so@ libglx.so.1.0.4191 (which is correct) Then I typed: ls -l libglx* and got this reply: lrwxrwxrwx 1root root 18 Jan 28 15:20 libglx.so -> libglx.so.1.0.4191* -rwxr-xr-x 1root root 659340 Jan 28 15:14 libglx.so.1.0.4191* Then I did; modprobe NVdriver and the reply is: modprobe: Can't locate module NVdriver . Hmmmm, I don't know what to do next; but I am getting closer, I think. I did check vim /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions and for the "modules" it shows: Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so . And for driver is has "nvidia" . Oh, and in XFree there is no driver listed for what I installed. Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
