I'm programming with gtkmm/gtkglextmm and opengl, and my program
crashes in the mesa dri code when the window of my program is resized,
and the crash can be solved by installing the nvidia video card
driver from Nvidia company(not free software), here is the steps if
you want to try this way:
(created by mlaks@post.harvard.edu and modified by me)
1. remove all the packages with name "nvidia-****", for they maybe
conflict with the driver we will install, such as:
nvidia-glx - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver
nvidia-glx-dev - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver development files
nvidia-glx-ia32 - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (96xx legacy version)
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx-dev - NVIDIA Xorg driver development files
(96xx legacy version)
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx-ia32 - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (96xx legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-2.6-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for 2.6 series
compiled for amd64
nvidia-kernel-2.6-openvz-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for 2.6
series compiled for openvz-amd64
nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux
2.6.26-1-amd64
nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for
Linux 2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64
nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux
2.6.26-2-amd64
nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for
Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for
2.6 series compiled for amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6-openvz-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel
module for 2.6 series compiled for openvz amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-1-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module
for Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel
module for Linux 2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 (legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-2-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module
for Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel
module for Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 (legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source
(96xx legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source
nvidia-cg-toolkit - NVIDIA Cg Toolkit Installer
nvidia-kernel-common - NVIDIA binary kernel module common files
nvidia-settings - Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
2. remove mesa packages, for they are the faulty code, such as:
ii libgl1-mesa-dev 7.4.1-1
A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- G
ii libgl1-mesa-dri 7.4.1-1
A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- D
ii libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg 7.4.1-1
Debugging symbols for the Mesa DRI modules
ii libgl1-mesa-glx 7.4.1-1
A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- G
ii libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg 7.4.1-1
Debugging symbols for the Mesa GLX runtime
ii libglu1-mesa 7.4.1-1
The OpenGL utility library (GLU)
ii libglu1-mesa-dev 7.4.1-1
The OpenGL utility library -- development fi
ii mesa-common-dev 7.4.1-1
Developer documentation for Mesa
ii mesa-utils 7.4.1-1
Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities
3. apt-get install the linux-headers package that is appropriate to your kernel.
-------------------
mlaks@Rashi:~$ dpkg -l|grep linux-headers|grep 2.6.26
ii linux-headers-2.6-amd64 2.6.26+17
Header files for Linux 2.6-amd64
ii linux-headers-2.6.26-1-amd64 2.6.26-13
Header files for Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64
ii linux-headers-2.6.26-1-common 2.6.26-13
Common header files for Linux 2.6.26-1
-----------------------
4. then make a symlink for
-----------------------------------------
mlaks@Rashi:~$ ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 29 2008-12-11 00:56 /usr/src/linux ->
linux-headers-2.6.26-1-amd64/
--------------------------------------
5. then you download the nvidia drivers for your card from nvidia
driver download page, it looks something like this:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.15-pkg2.run
6. check the gcc of your machine, apt-get install gcc if not exists,
for example it is /usr/bin/gcc-4.1
7. then you shut down X and you run as root
-------------------------
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1;./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.15-pkg2.run
-------------------------
8. complete the process and restart the machine to X window.
