Bugzilla – Bug 146613
GLX nvidia not ok on beta2 but was ok on beta1
Last modified: 2006-01-30 16:13:21 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

Could you try my HOWTO first? Thanks. --> http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html

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 ...
Yes, each kernel update requires some new additional patches by NVIDIA. It's no fun. :-(
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.
> (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?
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. jo
Yes, try "sax2 -r".
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
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 ...

Thanks! > - removing xorg.conf and rebuilding it with sax2 ... : no GLX > - removing xorg.conf and rebuilding it with sax2 -r ... : GLX ok Marcus, correct/intended behaviour? Then we can close this one as WONTFIX/INVALID.
yes starting from scratch does it correctly. So this one can be closed
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?
Ok. I'll update my HOWTO for SUSE >= 10.1 accordingly.
