I haven't had any problems with the nvidia drivers since 9.1 when I started using Mandrake, but I need some advice here.
I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.8.1-24mdk and rebuilt the nvidia driver with version 6111 from nvidia website. At first it didn't install because of the kernel source being /usr/src/linux symlink to lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Feb 3 20:22 linux -> linux-2.6.8.1-24mdk drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Feb 3 20:21 linux-2.6.8.1-24mdk/ Is this correct for the kernel source location ? does anyone else have this ? I did get it to run successfully with the addition of the --kernel-source-path (or whatever the switch was) Problem is, it *is* installed successfully but only root can run glxgears and glxinfo ... my user ricks gets a segmentation fault. I also checked a new user, testme, and had same results. So I thought it was a permissions problem but I can't find it .. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root #> glxgears 3975 frames in 5.0 seconds = 795.000 FPS 4840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 968.000 FPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] ricks $> glxinfo Segmentation fault [EMAIL PROTECTED] ricks $> glxgears Segmentation fault the line from /etc/security/consile.perms: <console> 0666 <dri> 0666 root.video [EMAIL PROTECTED] ricks #> ls -l /dev/nv* crw-rw-rw- 1 ricks video 195, 0 Feb 6 10:54 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 ricks video 195, 255 Feb 6 10:54 /dev/nvidiactl I changed the owner to root: crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 195, 0 Feb 6 10:54 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 195, 255 Feb 6 10:54 /dev/nvidiactl made no difference .. I'm still reading the nvidia readme but was wondering if anyone had any ideas ..
