[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick
Darik: Your packaging works for me, got nvidia running *thumbs up*. The only issue I ran into was X's driver autodetection, which seems to select VESA even if there are all nv, nouveau and nvidia to choose from. Setting driver to nvidia in xorg.conf seems to solve that, and I think it is bug somewhere in X and not in nvidia driver. -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I think the new driver should be packaged and the package released asap, and this bug report should be updated. Now it seems that we're all waiting that somebody does something, but nobody does anything. That makes, IMO, Ubuntu in whole look bad. -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@angandrob: As far as I know this bug cannot be fixed until NVidia releases xorg 1.9 compatible binary driver. And NVidia has told via its forum that they will release nvidia-96 driver for xorg 1.9, but it is low priority issue for them. So all we can do now is sit back, relax and enjoy our nv/vesa/nouveau drivers. -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 626974 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 I wonder why this bug got marked as duplicate of #626974. IMO this leads to confusion as these two bugs, although related to same issue, have different point of views. This bug being about the actual issue NVidia legacy binary driver nvidia-96 is having, and #626974 being about the whole incompatibility issue between X.org 1.9 and NVidia legacy binary drivers (including both nvidia-96 and nvidia-173). If I got it all wrong, just let me know and I stop whining about this. -- dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: miEmptyData https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This might be related: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=153963 . So it seems that making their legacy drivers work with X server 1.9 is low priority issue for NVidia. Too bad that some (including me) just can't upgrade to nvidia-current. I don't know the details to be sure, but for now it seems there is nothing we (as Ubuntu community) can do but wait. It would be great if nouveau worked with my gfx card, though :) -- dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: miEmptyData https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
