Trouble installing GLX drivers
Hello all, I have made a little progress from my original problem in that I can boot into KDE now. I have successfully installed NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.suse80.i386.rpm. I am now trying to install NVIDIA_GLX drivers and keep getting the following error: file /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o from install of NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880 conflicts with file from package XFree86-server-4.3.0.1-46 after typing: sudo rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.suse80.i386.rpm I have SuSE 9.0 and couldn't find any drivers later than 8.0. I don't even know if this could be the problem. If I have incorrect drivers please point me to a site where the latest OpenGL drivers are located. I have tried renaming a few of the libGL* drivers in various directories starting at /usr/lib but nothing seems to help. It would be nice to know which file it is having a conflict with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robert Pollard

It is available through YaST Online Update. Start YOU, and in the list of available updates scroll down until you find the nvidia entry, mark it for installation, run the "update" and you should be good to go

RPM doesn't care about what is on your hard drive, only what is in your rpm database, so renaming files is a futile exercise.

I just tried the YaST Online Update and I still can't run Quake3. It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again. I get the same error. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. -Robert

You need to restart X to get GL running. You can do that by logging out and back in again. You should see the nvidia logo when you log out
It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again.
What does this mean? Did you do anything with GLX other than running the Online Update? Forget about that 8.0 rpm, just delete it, it is of no use to you

The conflict is that you're trying to install a package that is a) ancient as hell, and b) not intended for this version of suse DON'T DO THIS! I don't know a shorter way of saying it. DELETE THAT ¤#"¤" 8.0 RPM! If you see the logo then you have opengl and glx installed and running. You can check by running glxinfo. Near the top it should say "Direct rendering: Yes" if GL+GLX is active Then run quake with quake3 +set gldriver /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 IIRC (haven't run quake3 in a long while and I don't have disk space right now to install it, but I think that was the command)
Thanks for your help Anders. I do see the nVidia logo but I still get GLX errors.

Forget about that 8.0 rpm, just delete it, it is of no use to you you will nopt get the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.suse80.i386.rpm to install it is not the right one it WILL FAIL ... i have seen at leat 2 other occaisions you have been told this so far ..
have you tried the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site ..>?.... http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6106.html i can see no reason why these should fail there is no need to use OLD ANTIQUATED drivers read the info on the site do what it tells you (print of the readme ) then you got it all the time follow the instructions and you should be away btw the command line is far more powerfull than the gui ....... Ctrl+Alt+F1 login as root init 3 run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run follow the instructions read them it can get a little confusing if it cant find precompiled modules you do by the way need THE FULL COMPLETE kernel sources installed everything for your kernel version in /usr/src/linux if you aint got more dirs under linux full of .c files you aint got a full install , Once you have sorted that and run sax (if you trust it i dont) then run init 5 and bingo X running if you have changed any of the libgl stuff reinstall from your cd´s and try again . as was said rpm dont care about the contents of the Hdd it´s the rpm database that counts if that says one thing but the Hdd says other then sorry but the Hdd will looses simple . pete. -- Linux user No: 256242 Machine No: 139931 G6NJR Pete also MSA registered "Quinton 11" A Linux Only area Happy bug hunting M$ clan PGN

What does grep glx /etc/X11/XF86Config say? I didn't have to do this when I installed on 9.0 or 9.1, but maybe you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and in the section "Module" add a line Load "glx" then log out and back in and check with "glxinfo" in a konsole window. Near the top it should say "Direct rendering: yes" when you have everything working

Hi Anders, It's been a while since I've tried to get Quake running. I do get the nVidia logo during boot but I also get an indicator that the GLX drivers are not available when running Quake3.

just to check their done properly press <ctrl-alt-backspace> to kill your x server (logout first if you wish), then cd to /usr/share/doc/nvidia as root. once there do a ls and there should be a package called NVIDIA-<crazystuff>.run, execute it with sh, and the installer should pop up. Just follow the instructions then go "/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up. Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install. If you don't have/can't find the .run package then just download it of the nvidia site and follow above instructions using it. If you get really stuck mail me back or check out the guide somewhere in the suse portal. On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 23:01:18 -0700, Robert Pollard <robertmp@comcast.net> wrote:

It is available through YaST Online Update. Start YOU, and in the list of available updates scroll down until you find the nvidia entry, mark it for installation, run the "update" and you should be good to go
I have tried renaming a few of the libGL* drivers in various directories starting at /usr/lib but nothing seems to help.
RPM doesn't care about what is on your hard drive, only what is in your rpm database, so renaming files is a futile exercise.
I just tried the YaST Online Update and I still can't run Quake3. It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again. I get the same error.
Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.

No need, yast online update has already run this. If the update didn't generate an error, it will be done
Just follow the instructions then go "/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up.
No it won't, it will get you an "already running" error, since you never stopped kdm before.
Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install.
No you don't, suse uses a non-accelerated driver called "nvidia", not "nv", in 9.0 so you don't have to edit anything when you install the 3D driver. Besides, if you did have to edit the XF86Config file, this should have been done before restarting X

when in a VC (texxt terminal before you install any Nvidia drivers run init 3 then install the drivers then init 5 this way kills all traces of X off to start with then Re starts X and your Desktop of choice Correctly the ammount of cludges i see for getting Nvidia drivers up is unbelievable .
"/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up. Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install.

It is available through YaST Online Update. Start YOU, and in the list of available updates scroll down until you find the nvidia entry, mark it for installation, run the "update" and you should be good to go
I have tried renaming a few of the libGL* drivers in various directories starting at /usr/lib but nothing seems to help.
RPM doesn't care about what is on your hard drive, only what is in your rpm database, so renaming files is a futile exercise.
I just tried the YaST Online Update and I still can't run Quake3. It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again. I get the same error.
Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.

just to check their done properly press <ctrl-alt-backspace> to kill your x server (logout first if you wish), then cd to /usr/share/doc/nvidia as root. once there do a ls and there should be a package called NVIDIA-<crazystuff>.run, execute it with sh, and the installer should pop up. Just follow the instructions then go "/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up. Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install. If you don't have/can't find the .run package then just download it of the nvidia site and follow above instructions using it. If you get really stuck mail me back or check out the guide somewhere in the suse portal.

Well maybe you should try a System Admins knowledge of the system and add the location of the new libraries to /etc/ld.so.conf. Then run "ldconfig". You might also correct that file to match your system. I will say that I also have a Nvidia card and becareful not to overwrite the current same named files. As I remember /usr/lib/tff/files.so
I just tried the YaST Online Update and I still can't run Quake3. It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again. I get the same error.
