Modular X (X11R7) compatibility

_tf_ · 11-18-05, 01:26 PM

Hi

Xorg X11R7 RC2 is out, and more and more distros are updating to this new modular version,
so it would be nice to have the installer pickup the new dir-structure.
(/usr/X11R6/lib moved to /usr/lib/xorg)

Nevertheless, installation of the stock drivers worked ok after shuffling
around some libs on Fedora Rawhide.

Maybe someone has already written a patch?
Zander?

cheers

The next nvidia driver release will fully support X11R7.

Thanks,

Cool!
As always, THANKS Nvidia!

hmm...

8174 still does install a lot of things into /usr/X11R6.
so this driver does *not* work with the modular x.
this is with fedora and xorg-0.99.3-9.

any fixed driver available nvidia?

thanks

This driver does work with a modular Xorg. Please try using the --x-module-path option.

For x86_64 you would use /usr/lib64/xorg/modules
For x86, you would use /usr/lib/xorg/modules

Thanks,
Lonni

oh ok! will try it.
some autodetection would be nice.

thanks

libXvMCNVIDIA* files still get installed to /usr/X11R6/lib/
when using --x-module-path=/usr/lib/xorg/modules

the other files are installed ok.

8174 (and 7xxx) drivers work fine with X.org 7.0 when using Gentoo Portage.

_tf_,
I've reproduced that problem and submitted bug 200665 for the issue.

Hi,

I've like always extracted the driver and installed it via an edited Makefile to the new path in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/xorg/modules.

Works here with (RenderAccel off): X Window System Version 6.99.99.902 (7.0.0 RC 2)
