Works on amd64

[Comment 4 Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2006-05-15 07:58:07 UTC]

Works like a charm on my ~x86 too.

[Comment 5 Guy Ratcliffe 2006-06-30 15:36:25 UTC]

Works for a basic config, but the probing doesn't seem to find libnvidia-cfg.so.1.
For example, asking for it to detect the displays:
nvidia-xconfig --separate-x-screens 

Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

WARNING: error opening libnvidia-cfg.so.1: libnvidia-cfg.so.1: cannot open
         shared object file: No such file or directory.


ERROR: Unable to determine number or location of GPUs in system; cannot honor
       '--separate-x-screens' option.

That lib should be installed with nvidia-glx (or nvidia-drivers) but it isn't for some reason...

CC'd everyone from bug #114682

Peter, if there has been no activity on a bug for a while, it does not mean it will never be fixed.

hasn't someone to fill a bugreport for nvidia-drivers to let them know that
/home/matte/prova/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1/usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.***
is something needed?

nvidia-drivers patch to install libnvidia-cfg (needed for nvidia-xconfig)

Working 100% fine here after changing the nvidia-drivers ebuild 
(tested on 8774 release).

File the nvidia-drivers bug spearately, or the maintainers there will never know.

Thanks...

Works like a charm here too. When will this hit the portage tree?

[Comment 12 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-04-26 19:56:40 UTC]

Why not just install the binaries that ship with nvidia-drivers? Why try to compile it ourselves? Why add the extra work?

[Comment 13 Kenneth Perry 2007-06-22 12:11:57 UTC]

Seems to be included with the newest nvidia-drivers package (nvidia-drivers-100.14.09).

[Comment 14 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-06-23 01:28:35 UTC]

Yeah, it is.  Once we figure out what in the world we're doing with the big steaming pile that is NVIDIA drivers, we'll close this one out.

[Comment 15 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-07-12 16:42:46 UTC]

Included in 100.14.11.

[Comment 16 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-07-14 10:59:39 UTC]

Included in 1.0.9639.

[Comment 17 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-07-14 11:07:52 UTC]

Included in 1.0.7185. Marking as fixed.
