grendal Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 After an unsuccessful attempt at upgrading to 3.5.1(don't ask) and my bumbling of reinstalling 3.4.2, (Don't ask) I did a reinstall. Everything went fine, no problems. I decided to use the Nvidia drivers (8178) from plf. Again no problem, edited xf86config from nv to nvidia, restarted X, so far so good. Then I installed cedega 5.1, went to set it up and suddendly my session ends and Im logging in again. I thought ok, maybe its a one time thing, so I tried again and same result. I tried to start it from a terminal, same result. So I removed it and installed 5.0, but got the same result. When I used the nvidia driver from nvidia before, cedega ran fine so I am wondering if it's the plf driver. Has anyone else had this experience? Any suggestions?

grendal Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I did have this early in the log: Failed to initialize the GLX module: please check in your X Log file that the GLX module has been Loaded in your X server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If you continue to encounter problems, Please try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. But everything afterwards went ok and I do see the NVIDIA logo on starup. now my /etc/X11/XF86Config reads this in the Section "Module" : Load "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load Type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3d layer Which I believe is correct.

Guest madhead Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I have the exact same problem on mandrivia 2006 install also have it with wine too :-( did you ever fix this problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Looks that you have installed another OpenGL API, not just the nvidia one. If you have any mesa packages installed, remove them, and then re-install the nvidia package(s). Edited July 30, 2006 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
