jgw Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) I just did a clean 2007 install and am running GNOME. When it was setting up the only thing not configured was the display (I have a TNT2 (Nvidia)) I clicked on that one, it said there was proprietary driver available, did I want that and I hit yes (when installing I just hit the defaults). Anyway, it asked this question two times and two times I said yes. I continued to do its thing and then told me to reboot. I did that. and THEN I got the x server message. I then went to XFdrake and ran that . When tested it said: X server is disabled and to run gdm after its fixed and then: Found an error: (EE) Failed to Load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia-legacy/libglx.so (EE) Failed to Load Modules /usr/lib/Xorg/Modules/Extensions/Nvidia-Legacy/libglx.so (LoaderFailed, 7) Edited October 5, 2006 by jgw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file Most probably glx extension is loaded twice, and so X initialization fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgw Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf fileMost probably glx extension is loaded twice, and so X initialization fails. I would like to do that. However, I have nothing but a command screen (I am writing this from a windows machine). The load section look like: "dbe" # double-buffering extension "v4l" # Video for Linux "exlmod" "type1" "freetype" the load libglx.so (and it is there) "glx" I should add that this also seems to be, now, a known problem (along with lots of others. I guess I will just wait, along with others - no big deal). Thanks for the reply.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi to make things a bit easier, if you are not very strong with the command line is to install midnight commander (ie. urmpi mc , I just hope urpmi sources have been set up though) You could also try changing the driver from nvidia to nv (from mc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgw Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I do have midnight commander up as that is how I got the info for you. I will try the change and see if it does any good - thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Another tip install links2, so you can browse the web (incidently I am still looking for a(n easy) command line irc client) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try the change and see if it does any good - thank you! Now I am seriously thanking you. I did as you suggested and then re-booted and it worked! You might post this someplace for all the other poor devils with the same problem (there are a number of them). Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
