Support for X.Org Server 1.5

[Lom]

X.Org 7.4 was imported to the ports-tree yesterday, now (like on Linux after the similar update), one gets the messages "dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol "miZeroLineScreenIndex"" when using the nvidia-driver.

Nvidia guys, could you please recompile the FreeBSD-binary against the new X-ports?

Thanks In Advance

FYI, I haven't had to use the ignoreABI flag. I did have to reinstall the NVIDIA driver, though, as the DRI upgrade overwrote the NVIDIA files.

Please see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=126195.

from my side, the driver failed to load on the following errors, since the last update:

I never have to use the --ignore-abi option.

The driver is the 96xx one.

[rnejdl]

ahhh.. I'm using the most current 180.22 one which might be the difference.

I get the same libwfb error with and without ignoreabi (specified as an option in xorg.conf or as "startx -- -ignoreABI") with both 177.80 from Ports and 180.22 installed manually. For now I've taken to using the nv driver and a single screen, since according to Google it doesn't support dualhead.

I guess that's what I get for jumping on the update train without waiting a day or two to read other experiences. Lessons learned.

[zander]

The most recent NVIDIA FreeBSD graphics driver pre-release is 180.25 (please see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=127012). The most recent legacy graphics driver releases (BETA at this point) are: (see 173.14.16 ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/173.14.16), 96.43.10 (see ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/96.43.10) and 71.86.08 (see ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/71.86.08).

[jnr]

180.25 works perfectly. Thanks for getting something out so quickly, zander and co.

[David Marec]

The most recent legacy graphics driver releases (BETA at this point) are:
96.43.10 (see ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/96.43.10)

Ok for this one, X.Org X Server 1.5.3 now accepts to load it.

But, loading «glx» module failed:


(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so: Undefined symbol "_nv000038gl"

(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)

[zander]

@David Marec: are you sure the driver is installed correctly? I just sanity-checked 96.43.10 on one of my systems and don't see any unresolved symbols (e.g. `glxgears` runs fine).

[Ravna]

I build a new box and installed the smallest possible system from CD.
Then I rebuild world and kernel (FreeBSD 7.1-p2) + Xorg 7.4.
My card is a 9600 GT.

I tried the driver from the ports, then 180.23 and 180.25, with and without the -ignoreABI option.
but always get the message that module wfb could not be loaded.

As a side note,
there are a lot of apps which build, but segfault or complain about illegal instructions,
since xcb was bumped to v2.
E17 pukes, KDE doesnt even start . . .

As jnr said - never jump on the bandwagon too soon.

Same thing with 180.25 and 8800GTX - libwfb cannot be loaded.

[zander]

Please generate and attach nvidia-bug-report.log files if you have problems. Please also note, however, that libwfb.so is provided by current versions of X.Org - if the module can't be loaded, the reason most likely lies with your X server installation.

I tried to install it again, no error occured.
but the moddule still fails to be loaded.

I send email and bug report to the address given by ”nvidia-bug-report.sh”

Where is located «glxgears» ?

P.-S.: Notice that the URL provided in the thread called «Current NVIDIA Linux graphics driver releases» is not valid.

[ZOleg]

Fresh install FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE, Xorg 7.4, Gnome 2.24, KDE 3.5.10 and 4.1.4 from ports and 180.25 from slight modified ports x11/nvidia-driver

The above suggests that X.Org's libwfb.so was replaced with the one shipped with the NVIDIA graphics driver; restoring X.Org's binary should resolve this problem.

[ZOleg]

Thanks!
Replacing libwfb helped.

I attached the report to this message.

is anyone here able to run OpenGL games on FreeBSD 8-current? I can not start World Of Warcraft like I normaly can.

I am running 180.29 xorg 7.4 xorg server 1.5.3 basically I updated my ports yesterday, and everything is upgraded. I can startx with the nvidia driver installed but OpenGL does not work all the time

glxgears appears to run, but bombs out when I hit the x button to close the window.

Are you sure??? I've seen libwfb.so is symlinked to nvidia-libwfb.so even for nvidia-driver 180.29 (installed manually)

And I've got the error

dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol "miZeroLineScreenIndex"

for both 177.xx (from ports) and 180.29 (installed manually) with the latest xorg from ports.


PS: ah, just've read later message that it SHOULD be replaced with the one from Xorg distro. Going to give it a try :)

[zander]

@alecn2002: the official "installer" creates the symlink to libnvidia-wfb.so only if libwfb.so is not a regular file; this is the intended behavior: the NVIDIA FreeBSD graphics driver relies on the X server's version of this library, whenever available.

Same issue with the release #11;

I had to remove the file “/lib/libGLcore.so.1” and replace it by the one installed by the driver into “/usr/local/lib/”



ldd /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1:
libGLcore.so.1 => /lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0x28421000)
libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 (0x2818c000)
