Hi, I've been struggling getting my NVidia card up and going. I've had several problems solved by reading over tons of user feedback on Nvidia's site. I've got everything working now, if I only have one monitor enabled. My system has two video cards (Gforce 255 and a Matrox Millinia), and I had them both working with NVidia's GLX enabled in the past, but I can't get it working now. If I comment out 'Load "glx"' in /etc/X11/XF86Config, X starts fine, but without glx, which is a problem. If it's not commented out X crashes and doesn't say much in the log about what went wrong. If I disable the matrox card (secondary) I can enable glx and everything is fine. The only thing I can think of is that the matrox card is trying to load glx and can't, and I really don't need glx on that monitor anyway . . . is there any way to make glx load on only one monitor/video card? Thanks. -- Nick Webb http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/

You might want to post your log file. Check to see if a file exists in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libglx.a. If both a .so and .a exist the .a file is used in preference to the .so. I don't know if that is how it is supposed to behave, but it did for me. Remove the .a file.

The libglx.a file is not there only libglx.so which is a link to libglx.so.1.0.2313 (NVidia's driver). The log file and XF86Config file can be seen at http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/files/XF86/ . . . thanks again! -- Nick Webb http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/

If you read the README in /usr/*/doc/NVIDIA_GLX, they recommend you remove two modules from your XF86Config[-4] file.

Not GLcore.a, but libGLcore.so (sorry I guess I was abbreviating). If you download the .tar.gz version of the nvidia drivers they have a makefile that will do a very good job of clearing up all those confusing files. That was what my first question was about with regards to libglx.so. The makefile removes any version installed at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.* And installs them at /usr/lib/libGLcore.so. I expect on your system everything is installed right, but some files need to be removed so that they don't get loaded erroneously.

Okay, I've got this commented out and DRI. I still get the same thing, if glx is commented out, everything works fine (2D anyway). If I uncomment glx I get a crash (new log and XF86Config file posted at http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/files/XF86/), I can leave glx enabled if I comment out the second screen.

Did you get a chance to disable AGP? This will allow glx to still work but you won't have the acceleration of AGP.
