[gentoo-user] Getting problems with nVidia and OpenMosix kernel

[gentoo-user] Getting problems with nVidia and OpenMosix kernel

[Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales]

Hi there,

    I got a Gentoo box with two kernels, one is linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r9
kernel sources and the other linux-2.4.30-openmosix-r3. On the 2.6
kernel, the nvidia driver works fine. But on the OpenMosix version,
whenever I try to start X, it crashes, and in the log, there are no
error messages.
    All I get is:
(II) Initializing extension GLX

   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

    cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE returns nothing.

    I believe it is a flaw in the agpgart module, because if I try to
load the module, I get:
/lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o:
init_module: Invalid argument
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o:
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o:
insmod agpgart failed

    Anyone knows how to fix this? Thank you for your attention,

Raphael

i have got the same problem while installing the nvidia-kernel within
portage tree on my 2.6.12-5 kernel. 

i solved it by commenting the line
---> Load "glx" 
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

i recommend downloading the latest driver xxx.run from nvidia.com and
compile a module for your kernel. it worked for me, just for your
reference. ;-)

Well, an intel based portable with a radeon 9000 was working fine
with a 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel until this morning. X(kdm) would
not start. I logged in (console) and entered 'startx' and got something
very strange that may be related to other xorg problems:

First I had to comment out the { Load  "speedo"  } line, then the next
problem was:

'Symbol drmGetClient from module
/usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved'

I also get:
(**) Keyboard1: CustomKeycodes disabled
(WW) No core pointer registered
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard1" (type: KEYBOARD)
No core pointer

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

I did a emerge -uD world yesterday.

Could these problems be related?

???

i'm not sure, i use a nvida card instead, i will recieve some error
while there is a wrong module compiled or i have two module which locate
at different path, this will occur probably when i update my driver.

for example, i emerge nvidia-kernel and it is in /lib/module/`uname
-r`/video/nvidia.ko, but when i update my driver to the one i downloaded
from nvidia.com, it is in /lib/module/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko. system will be confused. 

i'm not so experienced either, just for reference. good luck.
