8756 Driver fails - GLX wont load

[neeko]

Here is a new bug-report.log

I booted as normal - which locked up with the black/white screen as in my previous post.

Restarted and booted in recovery mode (console login), and ran the bug-report script.

Rebooted using live CD to post this message.

Hope there's something useful in there...

Thanks

Just to confirm, you're only having this problem with your new 2.6.16.9 kernel? If so, which kernel were you using previously that didn't trigger this problem?

Thanks,

Yes, that's right.

My previous kernel, which was working fine, was 2.6.12-10.

I compiled the new kernel and the 8756 driver with gcc 4

Thanks

If you boot to the working kernel, does glx load again?

Thanks,

Just got a new card "XFX Geforce 6800 XT" for my Ubuntu Breezy box. Intalled the lastest driver 8756 downloaded from www.nvidia.com, and using "nvidia-xconfig" to change the "xorg.conf". However the X cannot be started. Part of the xorg.0.log files is shown as follows:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
...........
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

The output from "startx -- -verbose 5 -lgoverbose 5" is also attached to this post.

It seems the module "nvidia" and "glx" cannot be loaded. "nvidia" IS in /proc/modules and I also added "nvidia" in /etc/modprobe.d/modules. But X still cannot start.

Really appreciate if someone can help to fix the problem.
