EVO video with nvidia drivers

2011-01-03 Thread Devin Bougie
Hi, All.  We have several SL5 systems using the proprietary nvidia driver from 
sl-contrib.  We did not have any trouble with these systems until we tried to 
view video in EVO (ViEVO).  We have no problem using EVO with the latest 
260.19.29 drivers downloaded and installed from nvidia.com.  However, we are 
unable to view video when using nvidia-x11-drv from sl-contrib or 
nvidia-graphics260.19.21 from atrpms.  In all cases, xorg.conf is essentially 
unchanged.

Please see below for example output from unsuccessful and successful attempts 
at running ViEVO.  Any suggestions for fixing this using the sl-contrib (or 
atrpms) drivers would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin

Looks like a DRI/GLX issue at first glance.  I've had very good luck 
with the ELrepo packages:
kmod-nvidia, nvidia-x11-drv combination.  Maybe you are missing the 
kernel module in the first instance.

Re: EVO video with nvidia drivers

2011-01-03 Thread Devin Bougie
And, here is the reply we've received from the EVO support folks.

--
The reason is in OpenGL version. You need at least v.1.5+ to be able to 
use the most recent ViEVO. As you can see from your logs, you have 3.3 
in case when you can successfully use it and 1.4 when you cannot. 
Perhaps RPMs are messed up. Please use drivers from nvidia web site, 
until SLC5 will resolve this issue.

Thanks again,

I, too, recommend installing ELRepo's nvidia packages (OK, I'm
biased). They get updated in a timely manner (so far at least). If you
install them now, it is version 260.19.29 (OpenGL 3.3.0). Unlike the
Nvidia's installer, you do not need development software and there is
no need to reinstall upon kernel updates (kABI-tracking kernel
module).
