Hi everyone
I know tthere's been a thread on this but I've missed most of it, so sorry if this is a repeat question.
I have SuSE 7.3 running Mantel's 2.4.16 kernel on my laptop (Toshiba 5005) and have just installed the latest drivers from nvidia's site. I recompiled the source rpm's and my /etc/X11/XF86Config looks fine. However, glx won't load and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions as to how I go about investigating and fixing this?
Ive just had fun getting GLX to load myself with a similar situation as yourself. What it seems stems from is incorrect sym links, which I believe where created from the switch2nvidia_glx script I ran previously intended for an earlier version of the nvidia drivers. Id recommend taking a look at /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README (specifically "(sec-04) TROUBLESHOOTING" and "(app-c) APPENDIX C: INSTALLED COMPONENTS") and the output of your /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Essentially what you have to do is check that all the symlinks listed in Appendix C point to the correct files. Even now, 3Ddiag reports that the are files are missing and initially I thought Id failed, until I checked the output of XFree86.0.log, xdpyinfo, and glxinfo. Good luck, Piers
