[gentoo-user] GLX module not loaded...

[gentoo-user] GLX module not loaded...

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

something is still wrong with my X.

I downgraded all according X11-stuff to stable and now I have
a login and my X-desktop back.

| By the way: It may be helpful that after compiling the Xserver
| one is not only warned to compile all X11-drivers again due
| to API changes but also and explictly the window manager.
| but this is another scenario...

I am still haveing one "EE" in my Xorg.0.log which says the 
following:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 7600 GT (G73) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)

Module "glx" is accessed via xorg.conf like this

Section "Module"
    Load           "glx"
EndSection

but seems not successfully loaded according to the EEs above.

What can I do to remove this problem?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Keep hacking! :)

Have you run "eselect opengl set nvidia" yet? There is a nice guide here:

I was having the same problem and that command fixed it for me. I 
noticed that before it was fixed, there was no 3d acceleration when 
using opengl, making for very slow framerates with most 3d apps...

...and I was sure, that the emerge process did this for me...
I did by hand and now I have another problem:

(II) Loading extension RECORD
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module dri
(II) UnloadModule: "dri"
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "dri2"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module dri2
(II) UnloadModule: "dri2"
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)


Any eselect magic needed here ?

I read here that this is okay for the nvidia drivers, they do the dri 
stuff on their own.

Actually, if you want, you can put
     Disable "dri"
     Disable "dri2"
in the modules section of your xorg.conf, and that will get rid of the 
messages.
