[Bug 703688] Re: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa)
I had a video problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 10 to 11.04. The icons kept flashing. Also the GL screensavers in Xscreensaver eg Engine would not work. The video is NVIDIA 173.14.30 installed by Synaptic with a GeForce FX5500 card. The eventual solution was very easy. I made a Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal installation disk and booted up on it. I renamed the original /etc/X11 directory to /etc/X11-hold and then copied the /etc/X11 directory from the installation disk onto the hard disk. After removing the installation disk and rebooting the video now works OK. The GL screensavers in Xscreensaver also work now. Comparing the new and old /etc/X11 directories showed some extra files in the old directory and when these were hidden in a temp directory the old original /etc/X11 directory worked. Notably there is no xorg.conf used at all. The NVIDIA X Server Settings menu item also works correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703688 Title: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 703688] Re: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa)
I read from somewhere that the current stable Nvidia drivers are not compatible with Xserver 1.10. And just like Harry mentioned, the latest beta drivers only have preliminary support for Xserver 1.10. I guess the only thing we can do is wait for updates, and complain about broken beta/alpha stuff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703688 Title: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 703688] Re: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa)
xserver 1.10 doesn't exist yet, and the ABI it's going to use won't be frozen until 1.10 RC2 (a.k.a 1.9.99.902) is released. Until then, the NVIDIA driver can't assume that the ABI won't change in the future. I pinged the people responsible for releases, but didn't hear anything back. The official xserver 1.10 release is scheduled for Friday the 18th, according to my calendar, so hopefully RC2 will be soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703688 Title: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes I can confirm this error occuring with the nvidia-current_270.18 and xserver 1.9.99.901 (1.10 rc1). GLX module shared object (libglx.so) does not support server ABI and loading fails. This happens even if IgnoreABI is used. If IgnoreABI is not used in xorg.conf, gdm and x are not loaded (boot stops showing plymouth). This means compiz is out of work. Seems to be a bug in the binary driver, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703688 Title: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Anyway this drivers offers a preliminary support for xserver 1.10, not full support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703688 Title: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
