Description doggie 2009-11-01 11:34:34 UTC

The file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so is set -x (the executable bit is missing), but this is needed.

nvidia-drivers ver: 190.42-r2
xorg-server ver: 1.6.3.901-r2

Can you explain how exactly this is necessary? It's not necessary on several machines that I have access to. Those machine also span multiple distros.. Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and CentOS.

Comment 2 doggie 2009-11-03 17:41:41 UTC

Sorry, can't reproduce the error right now. In a former test I changed but the +x in order to get X working, but as I just changed it back, it still worked.

I'll find out, what it was about and then re-open the bug again, if necessary, sorry for the trouble.
