Bug 205898 – xorg-server-1.4.0.90 doesn't start with nvidia-drivers-100.14.19 due to missing dri module

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Boris Petersen 2008-01-14 21:49:02 UTC]

I have updated to xorg-server-1.4.0.90 and reinstalled nvidia-drivers-100.14.19 If loaded "normally" xorg tries to load module "dri" which it doesn't find. If i add 'Disable "dri"' it doesn't try to load the module but still segfaults.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90 
2. remerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19
3.startx

Actual Results:  
Xorg segfaults. xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log will be attached

Expected Results:  
start X like it does before upgrading to xorg-server-1.4.0.90
