Hi,

I installed xor-x11, merged the nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. Also
edited the /etc/X11/xor.conf file to comment out dri and made sure glx
was not commented in the modules section. Made sure nvidia was set as
driver for device.

X starts ok but all the colors look like crap. glxinfo | grep direct
says it can't find some rgb thing.

I read and re-read the nvidia howto and the xorg howto.

Please help!!!

Yes I did aevery single step in the howtos.

I added the DefaultDepth 24 to the xorg.conf file and now the colors
are fixed and the nvidia logo appears when x starts.

glxinfo and glxgears still fail though. With glxinfo | grep direct, I
get something about glx not found on several screens. With glxgears, I
get RGB thing not found.

maybe you could send some infos. your xorg.conf, your log, glxinfo output
without the grep (but not all, only the first douzend lines), hardware etc
pp. It is hard to guess without any infos.

I'm having _exactly_ the same issue...

I've done everything by the book and all of the lists suggestions.

The b/g doesn't load.. fbsetbg errors with a very generic error saying
something went wrong.
GLX won't load. etc..

PLEASE help!

please attach your xorg.conf, output of glxinfo and xorg.0.log.
Oh, and a ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears would be nice.

Hi,
Have also GLX error and it isn't working. Saw somewhere mention that
this is a bug of GCC-3.4.x.
Which version you using? i'm with 3.4.1. Also said that reverting back
to 3.3.4 solved the problem.

I have
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r2, ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5)

and glx is working fine. My whole system is working fine. After the gcc
update, I removed gcc 3.3.4, lib-compat and libstdc. Than a revdep-rebuild,
everything is fine.

If you update gcc, some progs will look into the old gcc/libstdc dirs
in /usr/lib/gcc-lib, others will look into the latest... and the problems are
building up.

This is why you should eun revdep-rebuild regularly. The gcc-version is
totally unimportant and has nothing to do, if glx works or not.

Yes, but had to re-compile the kernel (with GCC-3.4.x) to get
nvidia-kernel to load correctly and work. Not so for GLX (nvidia-glx is
also re-compiled) but isn't working.
Seems most of the problems are due to having binaries compiled with
different GCCs.
