Can't enable direct rending on Slackware 13.32 with Nvidia GeForce 9400GT

Francexi · 04-19-2012, 01:54 PM

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to enable the direct rendering. I've installed the originale drivers(downloaded by the nvidia site), recompiled Mesa, fixed the xorg.conf but nothing seems to work. Here is my glxinfo:

This is my xorg.conf and my xorg.conf-vesa

this is the x.org server log (from /var/log)

Code:

client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI

You're using the libGL.so file from Mesa, not the one provided by the nvidia driver. I'm also confused as to why you recompiled mesa. The nvidia drivers are stand-alone, and don't require any specific version of Mesa. It's very possible that if you recompiled and installed a newer version of Mesa, you likely overwrote the libGL.so file from the nvidia driver. I suggest reinstalling the driver and trying again.

Thanks for the quick reply, first. I've just retried, but the results are the same. The glxinfo is the same as before.

What is the output of:

Code:

ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo

How about the output of:

Code:

find /usr/lib* -iname "libGL.so.1"

You've managed to create quite a mess on your system by recompiling mesa... The version you build by hand exists under /usr/local/, and that libGL.so.1 file is being used first, likely because /usr/local/lib exists before /usr/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf. You will probably want to remove that version of mesa, but for the moment check in /etc/ld.so.conf and comment out the line that starts with /etc/ld.so.conf and then run 'ldconfig' (as root or with sudo).

content of ld.so.conf

Code:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib
/usr/lib/seamonkey
/usr/lib

You need to remove the Mesa libs you've installed in /usr/local/*

As had been stated nvidia comes with it's own OpenGL library which will overwrite Slackware's library when it is installed.
You have then added another OpenGL library in /usr/local/lib which is now causing a conflict and must be removed.

solved deleting the library from /usr/local/lib. Thanks everyone
