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.

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... 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.
