[newbie] nvidia openGL issues
Hi there, I am having issues using the nVidia drivers with LM 8.0. I've downloaded the RPM's from the nVidia website and amended XF86Config-4 as described in the readme, and the 'nvidia' driver seems to load OK (X works as normal except that it flashes up a nvidia logo on startup). However, I can't reproducibly get OpenGL to work - I'm using the KDE GL screensavers (Pipes, Morph etc.) to test. It seems to work if I 'startx' from a tty as root, but not as a normal user or via 'init 5' (as default runlevel or by booting into RL 3 and 'init 5' from tty). I just get a SIGSEV in the screensaver app or nothing happens at all (screen stays black.) In either case the logfile reports that the 'GLX' module is being loaded and says something about 'allocated 8 of 8 contexts' on load (on a different machine now, so not sure about the exact message). But if it's working it adds further messages to the log, if it's not it stays mute, no error msgs or anything. BTW: I downloaded the uniprocessor module, is that the right one to use? I'm using the default kernel off the iso image. (The X log says something about a SMP kernel, but it doesn't have the same version number as mine, soI'm guessing that was the kernel the rpm was built on) I get no mention of smp if I 'uname -a' so I'm guessing it isn't. Any suggestions? Config: LM 8.0 from the ISO images, no major updates or changes that I recall Creative 'plain vanilla' GF2 using XF86 4.0.3 (IIRC - the default option that isn't 3.3.6) cheers Liam _ Do You Yahoo!?
