[Bug 103050] Re: Xorg fails to start requesting libwfb when using nvidia-glx-new
I'll report the same solution I suggested in bug #98641:
Here is the solution to the bug and the source code.
First of all, the libnvidia-wfb.so.1.0.9755, available only in the
latest driver 9755 (in the nvidia-glx-new package) was being not copied
by the packaging scripts to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ therefore I added the
following lines at line 964 of the debian/rules :
if [ $$this_ver = $(nv_new_version) ]; then \
install $$this_dir/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.$$this_ver \
$(CURDIR)/debian/nvidia-glx$${nv_flav}/usr/lib/xorg/modules/; \
fi;
If the driver is the latest version then the file is copied, otherwise
nothing will happen (as other versions do not have the wfb module).
Another important step was that to make the packaging script create a
symlink to modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.$$this_ver (e.g. libnvidia-
wfb.so.1.0.9755) named libwfb.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ . Therefore I
edited both the debian/nvidia-glx.links.in and the debian/nvidia-
glx.links.amd64.in adding only the following line:
usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.@@VERSION@@
usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
And that's all. Now the users of Geforce 8800 will be able to use the
nvdia driver.
Here you will find the entire source code made with pbuilder.
You will only have to edit the debian/changelog and bump the version of
the linux-restricted-modules package.

Jacques, this fix does not work for the bug I reported above, as the wfb module is not a kernel module but rather an X11 module, so no amount of reloading of the nvidia.ko kernel module will resolve the issue -- Xorg fails to start requesting libwfb when using nvidia-glx-new https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upon closer inspection, it appears I'm having another bug (Sorry for the polution).

[Bug 103050] Re: Xorg fails to start requesting libwfb when using nvidia-glx-new
martin, I believe it was marked as a restricted-manager issue because the restricted-manager did NOT install the correct package. It installed nvidia-glx when my system requires the package nvidia-glx-new. manual usage of nvidia-glx-config has no bearing on the situation. I have not run nvidia-glx-config to enable the nvidia module in my xorg.conf file. the restricted-manager performed this step for me, and all I have done is manually reset to the nv module as 1) restricted-manager installed the wrong package, and 2) there is a bug with the nvidia-glx-new package which is independant of r-m. -- Xorg fails to start requesting libwfb when using nvidia-glx-new https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
