NVIDIA GL drivers 32/64 libraries
Hi all - I'm slowly getting my new AMD system together. Most everything is going smoothly. I installed the NVIDIA drivers using YaST, and didn't appear to have any problems. However, trying to run some of my old GL games (quake3, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2003) it appears none of them work. Looking into it a bit, it looks like the NVIDIA drivers only install into /usr/lib64, and the drivers in /usr/lib are the Mesa software drivers. I downloaded and unpacked the NVIDIA driver software, and in the download there is a /usr/lib32 directory with 32-bit 6111 drivers. Unfortunately, when I try to get the GL games to run using those drivers, they segfault shortly after trying to initialize the GL viewport. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've got the latest NVIDIA, and I can play Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, Americas Army, Urban Terror ... and Doom 3, without a glitch on my AMD 64bit system. So, it's not the NVIDIA drivers, at all. I'd rather think, that the reason are a bunch of missing 32bit libraries, like X11. citadel:~ # vdir /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2004-10-02 12:12 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7132152 2004-10-02 12:12 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 citadel:~ # vdir /usr/lib64/libGLcore.so.1* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2004-10-02 12:12 /usr/lib64/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6520752 2004-10-02 12:12 /usr/lib64/libGLcore.so.1.0.6111

Thanks, and I have found the problem, which was the YOU install put in a 53xx version of the NVIDIA drivers, which apparently did not support 32 bit apps as the 6111 drivers do. I manually installed 6111 and now all is well. Thanks.
Hi everyone, this is my first time i write in this list, I just installed suse 9.1 x86_64 in my AMD 64 bit system. Everything went smooth, except the nvidia drivres. I downloaed the drivers from nvidia (6111) and installed them by usingf the command sh NVIDIA_XXX -q --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux When the x server starts the nvidia logo appears, but when i try to load a game which uses OpenGL (like FlightGear of GL-117) it doesn't really use any 3d accelaration (p.s. GL-117 has only have 10 fps in the lowest detail). Even Matlab 7 when starts ayes the Warning: Could not query OpenGL Warning: OpenGL appears to be installed incorrectly. I never had problems with my previous 33 bit systems. Whats wrong? I did vdir /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4241 2004-04-06 05:27 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 On Mon, 2004-10-25 at 17:35, Mike wrote:

Did you go into sax2 and enable 3d? When I installed the driver, 3d was not enabled by default, I had to enable it. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.111-default x86_64
Well i reinstalled the nvidia drivers using the --opengl-headers, and now it semms to work. I think that it is not neccesary to activate 3d support via sax2 On Tue, 2004-10-26 at 15:29, Scott Leighton wrote:

When I installed the 6111 version of the NVidia Driver it does not give me the option to turn on 3D Support in SAX2. Plus I cannot seem to get Muti-Display Support to cooperate with my LeadTek Geforce 6800GT Card either but I can deal without that for a while. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marios K." <marios_hellas_23@yahoo.gr> To: "suse-64" <suse-amd64@suse.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 22:32 Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] NVIDIA GL drivers 32/64 libraries

3d support is enabled by using the driver In the Module section, make sure you have: Load "glx" You should also remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLcore" Here is my twinview setup Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce FX 5800" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "TwinView" #Screen 0 Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-94" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-160" Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768" Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection B-) On Tuesday 26 October 2004 10:18 am, A1C Dominick Alan Obermeyer wrote:

I've gotten it working, but with much poorer performance than expected. Has anyone seen the message: NVRM: not using NVAGP, kernel was compiled with GART_IOMMU support!! in their boot log? According to /proc I AGP is disabled (which would explain the low speed). Thanks!
I've had some issues in the past with this also. If I remember right, it had to do with agp speeds. You might want to check what agpart is loaded, nvidia's or otherwise and try different speeds. B-) On Sunday 24 October 2004 11:17 am, Mike wrote:

Hi I got the following error when try to run ut2003 demo so any help This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86_64 (tried to run setup) Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup The setup program seems to have failed on x86_64/glibc-2.1 Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup The program returned an error code (1) TIA Anirban Biswas On Mon, 25 Oct 2004 09:11:42 -0600, Brad Bourn <brad@summitrd.com> wrote:

I started a new thread because this is a new problem, although with the same components :-( I have an Abit AV8 (VIA K8T800) motherboard and a GeForce FX 5900XT video card. I have the NVIDIA 6111 drivers installed and working - both 64 bit and 32 bit GL apps are working through. The problem is with the AGP driver. From what I can tell, the AGPGART driver is compiled into the system, and it doesn't recognize the VIA AGP driver. /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status has "Status: Disabled AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file for additional information on this problem." Forcing the NVIDIA AGP driver doesn't help because the 6111 driver doesn't support that chipset. If I look at dmesg, I see the agpgart driver message ("Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones") but no other messages from agpgart. I've tried setting AGP to 4x in the BIOS - no luck. I was thinking of trying the kernel from 9.2, because I think it has a newer agpgart driver. Does anyone know where it can be downloaded? Any other ideas?
