Error module ScreenPrivateIndex

[Patrick MARION]

I am using Fedora F9 BETA 2.6.25-0.172.rc7.git4.fc9.i686

I have applied NVIDIA_kernel-169.12-2286310.diff.txt to NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run and the compilation with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1-custom.run works.

But during starting X I get the following error message et the X serveur does not start

dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: AllocateScreenPrivateIndex
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so

The driver does not yet support the development snapshot X servers shipped with Fedora 9.

Hi guys, I get the same error here with the patched version.
I'm running Fedora Core 9 (the official release, not the Beta one):

I have a 8600M GT.

Fatal server error:

Is there anything I can do for a workaround?
Thank you for you Linux driver support. I know it might be tough

I have the same problem with Geforce 2 MX 400 graphics card, the official release of Fedora 9 (Sulphur) and X.Org X Server 1.4.99.901 (1.5.0 RC 1).

After applying the patch NVIDIA_kernel-96.43.05-2290218.diff to NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run and running X, I get the following errors in Xorg.0.log:

(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1)

(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so

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


Unfortunately, I can't install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia from Fedora repositary as hardware acceleration is not supported for GeForce2 by this package.

hello!

i have

# cat /etc/fedora-release 
Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)
# lspci  | grep -i VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2)

it have 2 VGA outputs: old CRT one and digital one

old CRT works with "nv" driver and i have blurry screen, dvi output doesnt work with "nv" driver.

i used
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run --apply-patch NVIDIA_kernel-96.43.05-2290218.diff.txt
...
Self-extractible archive "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1-custom.run" successfully created.

as described on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110088
which made me NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1-custom.run

running it produced nvidia kernel module and no errors was found in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

# tail -3 /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
-> Your X configuration file has been successfully updated.  Installation of
   the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 (version: 96.43.05) is

now trying to run with startx, leads me to the following error:

can someone fix driver or make "nv" driver work over DVI connector? Thanks


PS: DVI output works fine with NOUVEAU driver, but firefox (Xorg?) rendering seems to be very very slow....

[czecz]

still waiting for new release.

ps: and not only me

You have three options:

1) Buy a newer card
2) Use nv/nouveau
3) Downgrade X and the kernel

I'd recommend 1)

(This driver will not be updated by nvidia to work with newer xserver/kernel releases).
