I’m running with an nvidia card, and using their driver, but when
I try to run a little openGL app, I get
Unable to init screen: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL
From SDL_SetVideoMode(MAIN_SCREEN_W,MAIN_SCREEN_H,16,SDL_OPENGL).
Anyone have similar problems with the nvidia driver? I’m wondering if
installing mesa after installing the drivers got my header files out of
sync with my libraries, or some such.
I’ve been able to use the openGL libs with glut, and no sdl, successfully,
so I’m not sure where to go.
On another note, in X 4.x, is it worth using nVidia’s drivers, or
should I use others (do the ones that ship with XFree86 work?)–

A very good possibility, trying reinstalling the NVIDIA_GLX stuff…

The problem is almost always that some old OpenGL drivers are hanging around,
but this sounds like an XFree86 configuration problem. Make sure the driver line
in your XF86Config file says “nvidia” and not “nv”, also make sure that if
you’re using an older version of X that “dga” or “glx” is enabled.

I’ll give that a shot, thanks. Is there any conflict between the nvidia stuff
and the mesa libs?

I’ve seen some conflicting info on the config. Some docs mention to comment
out the ‘Load “GLcore”’ line, and some don’t - could this be related?
(I’m running v 4.0.3 of X)

Sometimes, some apps get confused when they find multiple GL libraries. Other
times important nvidia versions of files get overwritten by mesa installs…

Hmm…personally I have GLcore in the config, dont’ seem to have an issue tho.
Thanks.
Good luck.

So what's the speed of dark?
-
There are a limited amount of source with the source package, only the 'module’
loading portion. There is no source to the driver itself since it contains 3rd
party coprighted properietary tech.
If you install the GLX package, I believe it installs NVidia versions of gl.h,
glx.h, and glu.h that also contain defines for their extensions to OpenGL.
So to answer your question, no, you shouldn’t need any “source” packages
additionally to use their driver…

You should have NVIDIA_GLX and NVIDIA_kernel (sources, current build number
is 1521), you get them on the download page, choosing the tarball gzipped
archives (noarch ones).
Then, make sure your current kernel sources are pointed by /usr/src/linux,
and compile the nividia_kernel (juste do ‘make’ will install it). You will
get a module that will reside in your /lib/modules//…
and an entry in /etc/modules.conf will be added.
The GLX drivers are only GL binaries that will
overwrite the previous ones (mesa included). Again, just a ‘make’ in
nvidia_glx will work fine.
The GL drivers provided delete the old ones so make a backup if you want to
keep them. But installing them is the only way to get proper hardware accels.
I am running Xfree 4.1.0 on a tnt 2 based card, with no more configuration
(excepted enabling glx in xf86config and replacing “nv” by “nvidia”). It
works fine.On Wednesday 19 September 2001 22:09, Marc MacIntyre wrote:

Of course there is. The nvidia drivers are a replacement for mesa
(or vice versa, whatever way you see it). It’s one or the other, but
not both.–
