Re: nvidia + GL = X crash
Problems with an NVidia card and you didn't tell me? First of all, have you
looked through the previous posts on this forum for any answers? Have you
tryed them all?
Second, it really, really, really sounds to me like you didn't specify
which module to use. As root run 'lsmod' and make sure that the "NVdriver"
module is loaded. Next, open up your config file. It's probably
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Make sure that its not loading the "nv" driver and
is instead loading the "nvidia" driver. I believe that normal mesa doesn't
work with the "nvidia" driver and causes it to crash when ever you try to
startx(or whatever you do.) Using the "nv" driver it(mesa) works just fine
and dandy. Mesa working (from what I understand) is not a good thing with
the "nvidia" driver. Heck, mesa shouldn't even be on your machine (unless
you can define all the time which GL driver to use.)
If the above fails, check out my giant list of install/debug
instructions to a guy with the alias of "dude." It should be in the news
letter archive (its pretty recent so you shouldn't have to look too hard.)
