Description FluffyDawg 2003-03-29 04:45:53 UTC 
I emerged nvidia-glx to get GLX working.  GLX did not work - in fact it made the
X server crash upon startup.  After checking the XFree86.org mailing list
archives, I found that several people had the same problem I did, caused by
having the nVidia GLX module and the XFree86 driver - apparently these two
cannot work together.


Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nvidia-glx
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
X server crashed

Expected Results:  
X server not crash

I think the only possibility to change anything is to show a message regarding this at the end of the ebuild.
Comment 2 Thomas Weidner 2003-03-29 10:29:11 UTC 
how is this connected to the nvidia-kernel module? i think it should be clear that  nVidia glx drivers do only work with nVidia xfree drivers....
