today's -current update nuked x
I installed the -current update this morning and x isn't working. I reinstalled the nvidia drivers... no good. It tells me that the server has a video driver abi version that this driver does not officially support. Then I get a fatal error, no screens found. So I ran rmmod nvidia to drop the nvidia kernel module, changed my xorgconf to use the nv drivers, and go a little white window with the following:
Code:
kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 127. Check your installation. |
Nvidia drivers overwrite certain important libraries in Mesa. Do this (From memory)
locate libGL.so That gets me Code:
/oldslack/usr/lib/libGL.so.96.43.01 bash-4.1$ locate 96.43.01 # Which gets me Code:
/oldslack/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.96.43.01 |
Look at this post. It solved my problem on getting X to start. Creating the symlink

I actually upgraded aaa_elflibs right after that post and in doing a bit more reading. Its all as it should be now, except I feel a bit like a dork at the moment. :(
|
Okay, with aaa_elflibs installed I still do not have X. It kinda works... starts to load KDE and then crashes and gives me:
Code:
Caught signal 11 (segmentation fault). Server aborting. |
Did you try
Code:
slackpkg install-new |
Yep... did that first
|
Tried reinstalling proprietary nvidia binaries from slackbuilds.org. Now i get:
Code:
This server has a video driver ABI version of 8.0 that this driver does not officially support. |
nVidia driver 260.19.21 compiled and worked with no issues here.
|
Okay, don't hate me because I'm stupid... the older version of the nvidia drivers at slackbuilds.org does not work with the new x server. I installed the new one from the Nvidia website and it works. However...
I find it disturbing that absolutely the only drivers that will run this card now are the proprietary binaries. That's going to be an issue every time there's a kernel upgrade or something. |

Solved this problem by creating a symbolic link /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0.
