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.

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

(II) LoadModule: "glx"

(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"

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

The driver is the 96xx one.

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.

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.

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"

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

@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).

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.
