I compiled the garbage myself and had to do a little editing (comment out the modversions.h because it isn't in kernel 2.2.17), and after I did that it ran everything fine. In fact, everything seems to run fine except for quake III ( and a little bit of X with the window managers and the screensavers not working.) Anyone know anything about this or had something like it happen to them?
I'm using nvidia drivers 0.9-5 with my geforce256 and works really fine.
- use brandens experimental packages, if not already done so
- search debian-x@lists.debian.org for details
- install kernel-headers package to get modversions.h
(/usr/src/kernel-headers-<version> should be linke to
/usr/src/linux)
I think the problem could be in
/usr/lib/:
You have some other libGL around (e.g. libGL.so.1.2 symlinked by
libGL)
In this case, quake3 kills x-server.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions:
there is a libglx.a in addition to your libglx.so ->
libglx.so.1.0.5
the xserver loads this one instead crashing your glx subsystem
I diverted (man dpkg-divert) this lib to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a.distrib
I hope this helps.
Next time, perhaps, try debian-x.
