dkms-nvidia (1.0-9629) problem [solved]

[Nik123]

Hi all! Yesterday I installed from urpmi mirrors package dkms-nvidia-1.0-9629 (latest) but, when I try to run glxgears, glxinfo or try to change something in video settings, using /usr/bin/nvidia-settings, X restarts and log in again. I had installed NVIDIA-linux-xxxxx-9629.pkg1.run, downloaded from the site of nvidia (same version as the dkms-nvidia), but .run driver worked very well, without any mistake. I am able to remove dkms-nvidia package and install again NVIDIA-xxxxxx.run package, but I want to use dkms- it is much comfortable for me. Help, please- if anyone had met that problem, and solved it, please, write here.

I use Mandriva 2007 "Sunna" RC2, kernel 2.6.17-6, GNOME 2.16, my videocard is GeForce FX 5500 256 RAM, machine is AMD Duron 1100 MHz, 512 RAM

Mandriva 2007 final is a beta, so RC2 is something between an alpha and a beta... :P

Jokes aside, post some useful errata from your /var/log/xorg.0.log

By now, I think, I solved the problem, after editing xorg.conf- Now I have glxinfo and glxgears without crashing X. I've been adviced by my friend to edit section Module of xorg.conf like below:

 

Section "Module"

Load "v4l" # Video for Linux

Load "extmod"

Load "type1"

Load "freetype"

#Load "glx" # 3D layer

Load "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so"

EndSection

 

The last "Load" line was added, while the line Load "glx" # 3d layer has to be commented

And by now, everything is fine- if I meet another problem, will write here. Thanks to all

[scarecrow]

Load "glx" and Load "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so" should load the very same module, unless you have the mesa package installed.

mesa is of no use if you're using the "non-free" nvidia driver, you may uninstall it.

[Nik123]

Thanks for the info, I do not know what driver exactly I use, free or non-free, but for "glxgears" command, I installed mesa-demos, so I think, the situation has to be leaved untouched by now- everything works :-)
