Hello COOT users,
Thanks for all the suggestions.
It turns out that my NVIDIA driver had a bug in some of the /dev/nvidia* files.
I upgraded from 169.12 to the 173.14.12 nvidia linux drivers version and now
everything is humming along with the precompiles gtk2 coot binaries.
Thanks again for the
Nat, is probably right. I did not see a "Module" section in your xorg.conf
file, which is required.
Attached are 2 examples of xorg.conf. One for single screen CRT, the other for
a dual head FX Quadro card, which uses 2 monitors. Use them as templates to
adapt to your configuration.
HTH
This may not be required any more, but I remember having to explicitly add
the GLX module to the list of extensions to get NVidia cards to work. I'm
not sure exactly what the syntax is, but I know the module is just called
"glx", so maybe try putting 'Options "glx" "Enabled"' in the 'Extensions'
s
SO I added the "Extensions" stanza to my xorg.conf file as you suggested but I
still get a non-functional COOT.
FYI here is my xorg.conf file:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
