Yes, I'm seeing something very much like that. I found that there's a "buglet" in the default mesasoft install. /usr/lib/libGL.so is symlinked directly to the mesasoft driver instead of, as it should be, to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1. Since this should always be symlinked to .so.1 the switch... script doesn't touch it. rm /usr/lib/libGL.so ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so and it should work. I got my cursor back when I got gl working btw. Still no clue as to why it disappeared in the first place, though. regards Anders On Wednesday 14 November 2001 21:39, Cleary_Mike@emc.com wrote:
I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3 last night, and the jury is still out. After the reboot during the install, I lost my mouse. After the upgrade, I started KDE and it came up with an error message about soundserver (& I had no sound). I could move my mouse around & highlight windows, but there was no pointer.
This morning I booted up & ran Sax2. The first thing I noticed was that my GeForce 2 MX was no longer a choice for video card. Sax2 had chosen Nvidia "N11", whatever that is. I did see a GeForce 2 MX GO (again, whatever that is). I "loaded glx" and chose the nvidia driver (as opposed to nv).
When I started X my mouse pointer was back, and I heard system sounds (so I assume sound is back - didn't have much time before work). I started "gears" and got a miserable 50 FPS (on 7.2 it was at 1675 FPS). So, I did the "switch2nvidia_glx" and tried to run "gears". I got an error saying that open gl was not supported on Display 0:0. I think maybe the update installed the SuSE nvidia drivers, even though I explicitly told it not to (my drivers from nvidia were newer).
Anyone else by chance see something like this? Ideas? Solutions?
