[gentoo-user] Xorg + nvidia driver problems

[Arnau Bria]

Hi all,

When I use nvidia driver on my Xorg I get this error many times:

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x37) [0x8126e5f]
[mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

I've looked for it on google and forums but I did not find a valid
solution to my problem.

I'm on :

[I] x11-base/xorg-server
Installed versions:  1.5.3-r6(12:49:14 PM 09/29/2009)(hal
input_devices_evdev nptl sdl video_cards_nvidia video_cards_vesa xorg

# uname -a
Linux lx-arnau 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 #1 SMP Wed Sep 23 13:27:16 CEST 2009
i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


# eix nvidia-driver

     Installed versions:  180.60!s(01:28:20 PM 09/23/2009)(acpi gtk kernel_linux -custom-cflags -multilib)

I'm really lost cause many refernces talk about old buggy xorg
versions, and most curious is that it started one day suddenly, without
restarting X session or upgrading kenrel/driver, whatever... I only
loxked my screeen and next day X started going really slow until now
that I have to use vesa driver.

TIA,

That's pretty strange.  Have you tried fsck'ing your hard disk?
Reinstalling the nvidia driver?

Also xorg-server was just updated to 1.6 this week, so you are out of
date now.  That doesn't explain the slowness, but you might want to try
the upgrade to see if it helps.  Be sure to follow the upgrade instructions
very carefully, however.

I like 1.6 guide :-) really short! (but now they introduce libxcb
guide!)

will try and say how it goes.

Thanks for your reply,

After the upgrade and completly remove xorg.conf (hal does all the
job) my xorg server works fine again...

it has no GLX extension, and maybe other modules are out, but
meanwhile I can use nvidia driver... 

Cheers,
