Description jo de baer 2006-01-30 14:33:12 UTC

I install SuSE Linux 10.1 beta 2 on Dell D800 with nvidia GeForce FX Go5200. After install I download (and patch) the proprietary nvidia driver (version 1.0-8178) and compile it - goes through fine. I can then start X (wich Nvidia splash) but glx is not loaded correctly. So I cannot successfully run glxgears. On beta1 glx worked without additional efforts.

Patch come from http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=62021

I have both used nvida tools and sax -m 0=nvidia to come up with xorg.conf

ok will do that first - sorry for all the mails - but do not seem to be able to upload multiple attachments in batch :-/

mind you on beta1 it worked fine ...

starting now ...

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2006-01-30 14:50:21 UTC

Yes, each kernel update requires some new additional patches by NVIDIA. It's no fun. :-(

Comment 9 jo de baer 2006-01-30 15:23:15 UTC

Hi,

tried the patches ... but same result : "extension GLX missing on ..." :-/ . I have visual - only glx is not working. If you want you can log into the machine ... just gwim me.

Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2006-01-30 15:28:49 UTC

> (EE) GLX is not supported with the Composite extension

You need to remove  ' Option "Composite" "on" ' in your xorg.conf. I wonder why SaX2 still writes this line. I thought we disabled this for the nvidia driver. Marcus?

Comment 11 jo de baer 2006-01-30 15:35:05 UTC

Yup that does the job ... if you want me to do additional tests about where that option came from, just tell me what to do.

Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2006-01-30 15:41:45 UTC

Yes, try "sax2 -r".

Comment 13 Marcus Schaefer 2006-01-30 15:49:29 UTC

Composite will be used for nv but not for nvidia, if you don't mind
call

   sax2 -r

and send the log

   /var/log/SaX.log

Comment 14 jo de baer 2006-01-30 15:55:22 UTC

Yup :

- removing xorg.conf and rebuilding it with sax2 ... : no GLX
- removing xorg.conf and rebuilding it with sax2 -r ... : GLX ok

Attaching SaX.log ...

Marcus, correct/intended behaviour? Then we can close this one as WONTFIX/INVALID.

Comment 17 Marcus Schaefer 2006-01-30 16:06:10 UTC

yes starting from scratch does it correctly. So this one can
be closed

Comment 18 jo de baer 2006-01-30 16:12:25 UTC

If possible maybe document somewhere one needs to include the "-r". I had never used that option before myself... :-) Is using that option the recommended way?

Comment 19 Stefan Dirsch 2006-01-30 16:13:21 UTC

Ok. I'll update my HOWTO for SUSE >= 10.1 accordingly.
