4363's won't load GL...

[wicka_wicka]

I'm running Mandrake 9.0 and I just installed the 4363 drivers and no 3d games will open/the .log file says there's and error when it tries to load glx. I've got that in my X86config file (load "glx") and I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

[bwkaz]

What's the error? It's a little hard to give ideas when we can't see the error message. ;) Post (or rather, attach) the log file.

PLZ : respond me by mail rapsys aT hotmail dOt com

the glx is not loaded
my log is not explicit I see only this line witch has a report with the glx

Driver "nv" This is the problem. It needs to be changed to Driver "nvidia", as the README says.

And no, I won't email you with this -- you can read it here, and this way, so can others having the same problem in the future. Plus, I don't want to write this up twice. ;)

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

I have configure to rceive the answer by mail.
But I have a trouble when I use nvidia

I need to do a modprobe vnidia or a insmod nvidia and after a few minuts my graphic server crash
and so my computer Ctrl+Alt+Fn don't work ans Alt+print screen+s do not work(syncronisation of disks)

How can I solve the problems???

[bwkaz]

When X "crashes", what happens? Is it an actual crash, where it's segfaulting or something? Is it exiting due to some error? Or does it just lock up?

[wicka_wicka]

I have the same error as Rapsys. And I have the Driver "nvidia" line in as well. I've double checked and installed the drivers twice, still nothing works...:afro: And I'm adding that smilie in there for no reason.

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

I have solve my problem I have switch to a Mandrake 9.1 and it works without the nvidia driver with the nv driver I think....

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

it was too nice, my X crash same as usual two minutes after I post the precedent message.
and I am not under debian woody but under mandrake 9.1

my glx extention is well loaded but it crash.

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

no error could be at origine of the crash
it is very simple that freeze I keep the X open and my system work but is it as if the graphic card send the same picture on the screen

but the stream as xawtv continue

but the Ctrl+Alt+Del don't work.

sorry but I did not see any important information in my log ( say me if I could find some important information in other log than XFree86*.log)

I can't test it always because, I lose data evrytime the X crash with the nvidia drivers ( and i can't reinstall packages after all crash!!!

if you have solution to have the dump or something whitch cn help you I can crash one or two time my linux but no more( I did have the surprise that my mount package was corrupted imagine you when you can't mount your cdrom for reinstall the package!!!)

Rapsys|Phoenix whitch is degusted to be in the impossibility to use the openGL of his geForce GTS

[bwkaz]

Your mouse freezes too, then?

I'm not sure what it could be, no. Sorry... :(

xawtv is using overlay on the video card, I think (though that probably depends on the card), so it makes some sense that it keeps running. If the drivers are all that are frozen, that is.

If you have another reason to try to lock it up (in other words: don't lose data just to try this), you can see if ctrl-alt-f1 does anything. Or alt-sysrq-u, then alt-sysrq-s, then alt-sysrq-b (the last one should immediately reboot; the first two unmount your drives and sync them up so you don't lose data). Leave some time in between each of these -- unmounting and sync'ing might take a bit.

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

my mouse move but it cursor is kepping the last icon of it was before freeze

I will try this later. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and other Ctrl+Alt+Fx don't work I am sure I will try Ctrl+Alt+s, Ctrl+Alt+u and Ctrl+Alt+o, but I think it was not working

[tsubasa]

Its funny this story of mouse ....

Why ?? see on my thread "The are work one times", and on the XFreeOk log you can see some mouse problem, and I approuve under KDE impossible to move the mouse, but this time the Nvidia Driver as working but no mouse...

I havent made attention to this mouse problem when the nvidia driver as work, but maybe they are relation with the Nvidia driver bug on KT333.

I think this incompatiblity with KT333 are minor but it make hard troubles to get nvidia work on KT based mobo (especially the MSI-6380 KT333 mobo, this is mine in 3 month of test i have see only one time the driver work but with no mouse :) )

Thanks i really hopes this help

I really hope Nvidia is Aware of KT333 and nvidia Linux Drivers problem

thanks again and again.

I hope one day will work :afro:

(Ps: i have bought on the internet the retail version of mandrake 9.1 with build in drivers, i will receive it in the next week and i really hope the build in work...)

(Ps : My Mouse is a logitech USB)

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

yes yes it is what I do

but it is a bad thinking whitch come from windaube

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

I have just see that on my mandrake 9.1 the Xfree 4.3.0 server is compiled for th kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk and not for the kernel-2.4.21-0.16mm-mdk

to resolve my problem I am going to recompile my Xfree 4.3.0( if you wants help in way to do that too(message for someone who will have the same problems) send me a mail or contact me on msn : rapsys AtX hotmail D0I0T com )

:afro:

I confirm that the Atl+Sys request+Key work but the screen don't come back(when I press to go to Xlate mod I have the white on black compressed at the top of the screen ( 5 centimeter instead of the entier screen.)

but the shutdown finish always by a lovely kernel panic and many lost inodes at boot time in the first inode naturaly not the last created whitch are less important !!!

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

YOU COULD Test it but i am not sure that it solve your plroblems because it has work one time on my computer and I don't know what I did for it works!!!!

the problems seems does not provides from anything other than the nvidia modules itself

I have solve the probles by using a personals boot script

(it is the joined file called perso.txt)

rename it to perso
(not .txt it was just for the file be acceped to be joined)
copy it to /etc/init.d/
go there do a chmod +x perso
then go to /etc/rc5.d/
do a ln -s ../init.d/perso S19perso
then go to /etc/rc0.d/
do a ln -s ../init.d/perso K70perso
then go to /etc/rc6.d/
do a ln -s ../init.d/perso K70perso

modify your XF86Config-4 file in /etc/X11/
change tour line
Driver "nv"
Option "DPMS"
to :
Driver "nvidia"
# Option "DPMS"
save the file
then two choices
- do a reboot
or
- cd /etc/init.d
./dm stop
./perso restart
(if nvidia does not show nvidia modules loaded whith warnings their is a problems)
then do a
./dm start

I hope it will run.
I did have do this script for my use it can be used for autoloading modules bttv with good option if it is not well detected. :afro:

Rapsys|Phoenix qui va sans doute pouvoir rejouter un conseil sur son site cet été
Comme back see me on http://www.win2lin.fr.st/

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

I hve all test

it crash with X only (without KDE & Gnome)
I think it does it be a kernel incompatibility with the kernel smp(0.16), I will test the 0.18 soon

[Rapsys|Phoenix]

test realized with the 0.18 it is the same!
