Description Joshua Schmidlkofer 2005-10-12 15:47:20 UTC
The driver gets copied to the wrong location
[http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82595].  Furthermore, the links go not
seem to get created or removed properly for libglx.so.

I got around this with 7667 by remove opengl-update, eselect-opengl, and
nvidia-glx.  Reverting to complete stock, install eselect-opengl and nvidia-glx.
 However, I have been unable to actually make all of this behave properly, and I
thought I had better file a bug report.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Unmask and install eselect w/ the opengl component
2.unmask and install nvidia-glx-7676
3.try to make nvidia binary drivers work.

Actual Results:  
Unable to find module nvidia. [X module, newbies will be mislead to think this
is a kernel or /dev management problem]  


Expected Results:  
X Startup.

remove /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a
ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so
/usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so

cp /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o /usr/lib/modules/drivers/
cp /usr/lib/xorg/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.7676 /usr/lib

ldconfig

restart X

Eradicator, you on this alias?
Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-16 12:53:55 UTC
It's working for me.  Can you please tell me the version of eselect-opengl? 
Where are the links pointing that are incorrect?
Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-18 23:41:21 UTC
I'm assuming this might've been with an old version as it's working for me.  Please 
reopen and provide more info if it's still a problem for you. 
 
Thanks.
