nVidia TLS Issues

I am running a Gentoo system and for the most part everything works fine ... just trying to hash hout some general issues. This one being the following error.

Code:
LittleGeek ~ # glxgears
glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so: cannot handle TLS data
LittleGeek ~ #
I will receive a variant of that error message while attempting to run any 3D application. Below I will paste my corg.conf (if that will help) and all (EE)/(WW) from my /var/log/Xorg.0.log

First I will paste my xorg.conf

Code:
LittleGeek ~ # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

this has been one of those odd things hard for people to figure out
first this path
/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls

when i compiled 7676 from nvidia web site i just got
/usr/lib/tls

do you also have the path /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib like i have seen
i heard someone fix this by copying the tls lib from /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib over the one in /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls
(please backup the original first)
seems one was broken

the best thing to do is get rid of that package whatever it is altogether and install 7676 like it comes from nvidia web site.

ls: /usr/lib/tls: No such file or directory
LittleGeek ~ #
/usr/lib/tls I do not have

I will try and copy the file around, see if that fixes it (I do have /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls

sorry/nevermind the one in lib was just a link to the one in tls


i see where alot of people get broken with newer nvidia and xorg
though i don't really know why
Quote:
from a debian board
composite works REALLY fast here. 61xx Nvidia driver (newer ones crash), Geforce 4 card
is the "composite" extension loading ?

grep extension (or composite) /var/log/Xorg.0.log

i know composite and glx are incompatable
unless you try #Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" # [<bool>]
which i think is unstable

might be if your nvidia package was precompiled you can do better with one compiled on your system
you might have a compler version problem with the one you are running

sorry i can't help more i stuck with xfree to avoid the muck of "new and improved"

also listed above is the libglx error as well.

should I include your above suggestion of #Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" # [<bool>] ?

yea try
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"

if that is unstable like everybody says

try
Code:
Section "Extensions"
    Option          "Composite"     "Disable"
EndSection

I had a similar problem after upgrading to Slack 10.2 and the 7676 drivers (compiled for my system). I couldn't use glx with the nvidia driver. If I commented out the "load glx" line, X booted.

I found a fix that worked for me on the nvidia forum. ie renaming
/usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.7676
/usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1
to something else so they're not found.

Here's the post

X loads for me, GLX does not ..... *BUT* .... I think GLX not loading is an nVidia related problem. Specficly in the eBuild for Gentoo. I will first attempt to disable Comsiting in X first and restart X .... if that works then problem solved.

I also think that this may be related to the fact that when I built glibc in gentoo, I think I choice not to include TLS/threads-tls support by mistake. There *IS* a new ver of glibc out. *IF* libGLX.so does not load after the aformentioned fix. I will recompile glibc w/ TLS/NTPL/linuxthreds-tls support to see if that fixes it.
