X-server segmentation fault on program launching

chiendarret · 04-14-2010, 05:09 AM

Hello:
Having upgraded Debian Linux i386 squeeze release from kernel 2.6.30 to 2.6.32 everything works except X-server segmentation fault on launching a graphic program (CHIMERA, http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/[/url], nightly build). I have successfully recompiled CHIMERA on the updated Linux, to no avail.

Below - between *** - the final part of "Xorg.0.log" reporting troubles. Before that, the log is identical to when X-server is working properly (reported in full between ####).

Thanks for suggestions.

Your video drivers are not installed properly:

Code:

(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

When using the nvidia drivers, the glx vendor should be nvidia. Try reinstalling the drivers and see if that helps.

Hi Adam:
You are right, thank you. Reinstalled the driver. It works for both CHIMERA and glxgears.

However, I still do not understand how the problems arose. After upgrading to kernel 2.6.32, a few days ago, I had to export CC for gcc=4.3 in order to be able to install the nvidia driver with the nvidia installer. Although I did not check CHIMERA, "glxgears" answered for a 3D acceleration, and I could run Youtube correctly.

After I posted the above problems, I checked "glxgears", getting segmentation fault like for CHIMERA.

I wonder whether the origin of this instability (should it continue) is the compilation of nvidia on exported CC gcc=4.3, while now with 2.6.32 gcc=4.4. Or rather that residues from previous installation "Debian way" of the nvidia driver are intereferring.

Bot before and now I used the legacy driver suggested by the nvidia installer for the old GeForce2 MX 200 of this desktop.

First, glxgears can not confirm for you that 3D acceleration is working.

Second, your kernel and nvidia kernel module must be compiled with the same version of gcc.

Finally, I really don't know how the problem arose either :-)
