hi,
i'm having a quite curious problem: my debian box running kernel 2.4.21 with a
NVIDIA GeForece2MX TwinView card and XFree86 4.3.0 won't start X after the
installation of the nvidia driver and returns a FreeBSD specific error message. the
following are the few lines provided in a nvidia ferebsd faq:
Q: X crashes during `startx`, and my XFree86.0.log file contains this error message:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.
A: The NVIDIA OpenGL driver and the NVIDIA X driver require shared memory to
communicate; you must have:
a) SYSVSHM built into your kernel
b) XFree86-Server-4.2.1_3 or later
Downloading XFree86 4.2.1 from the XFree86 ftpsite is not sufficient;
a shared memory bug in XFree86 was fixed between 4.2.1 and
XFree86-Server-4.2.1_3.
can someone please give me a hint. thanx in advance..
