[Bug 638633] New: The SUSE repo of NVIDIA proprietary drivers doesn't configure module search path properly
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638633 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638633#c0 Summary: The SUSE repo of NVIDIA proprietary drivers doesn't configure module search path properly Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rob.fortune@live.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: Other Blocker: --- Following the advice of: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html To install using NVIDIA repo their SUSE packages GLX failed to load and the reason is because they didn't change the "Files" section of Xorg configuration so it looks for their GLX driver first. They install their driver in: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions But do nothing to make Xorg look there before it picks up the default GLX renderer from: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so Unless you manually configure your "Files" section GLX won't load because /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is part of xorg-x11-server-7.5_1.8.0-10.3.1.i586 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I had a custom files section so that it searched my locally compiled modules first. This meant your patch didn't add the path. Since the package didn't account for it, it's not invalid. Much easier than fixing it properly though isn't it.
Well, in that situation you need to adjust your files section. BTW, you're first person running into this issue since SUSE/Novell is providing these RPMs (how many years now used by how many thousand users?). I would call this a corner case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
