yet another nvidia glx error

Pwnz3r · 03-23-2004, 02:41 PM

You might need that other stuff, but here's the module section of mine either way and I think the module section should be at the top.

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
Load "freetype"
Load "xtt"

# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
End Section

Also, I get away with this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "AOpen Geforce3 Ti200"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

Perhaps one of those things is the problem.

I have commented all the other modules exept glx. Regarding the XFree86.0.log the glx module gets loaded

Code:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.5336
        Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
        ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension GLX

it says compiled for XFree 4.0.2, but i am using 4.3.0

Code:

(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.5336
        Module class: XFree86 Video Driver

Code:

(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NvAGP" "2"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Use of AGPGART requested
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xE0000000
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xEC000000
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU detected as: GeForce2 MX/MX 400
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoBIOS: 03.11.00.02.00
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 16384 kBytes

i have tried adding the option "Option VideoRam 65535" but it didn't change anything....

any more hints???

Don't worry about the ram reported... it's pretty much an non-issue.

The bigger problem is that I don't think you got the nVidia GLX module installed...

Did you install from the runtime installation script or did you use the source RPMs and rebuild your own drivers???

Sammy2ooo · 03-25-2004, 06:43 AM

i have used the runtime installation script for installation. i have checked the nvidia installer log. everything went fine...

Pwnz3r · 03-25-2004, 07:00 AM

You could try it from the source. Gentoo builds them from the source when I emerge them and they always work fine. Just make sure you have the kernel's sources you want to use them with sim-linked as /usr/src/linux.

Sammy2ooo · 03-25-2004, 01:27 PM

i have recompiled the 2.6.4 kernel but this time without build in agpart. But still no change.
this is the output of glxgears -info

maybee this values are normal???? I have recognized that changing the windowsize of glxgears affects the fps value. also bringing this window to background risez the fps value up ~ 1500

Sammy2ooo · 03-26-2004, 05:28 AM

i just stumbled over this...

damn, what is ment by unable to retrieve symbol table ????

Pwnz3r · 03-26-2004, 06:44 AM

Did you recompile the module after recompiling the kernel? The modules need recompiled after recompiling kernels in case you didn't know.

Sammy2ooo · 03-26-2004, 04:48 PM

yes i know that and i did so.... xfree didnt start up without recompiling the nvidia module
i hope the only way to get this damn driver working isn't reinstalling my lovely slack ...

Pwnz3r · 03-26-2004, 05:11 PM

It's very doubtful that reinstalling is the answer, so don't worry. Post your XF86Config file again. lol

ricardo13 · 04-03-2004, 03:59 AM

Though I do not have three extensions loaded after installing latest nVidia drivers (only two):
GLX
NV-GLX
results of glxgears are:
26344 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5268.800 FPS
26313 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5262.600 FPS
27864 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5572.800 FPS
28424 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5684.800 FPS
28165 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5633.000 FPS
28388 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5677.600 FPS

(Athlon XP 2100+ @ 1831 MHz; KT600; nVidia GF4800SE)
===
Is it so important to have also NVIDIA-GLX loaded ?
