Bug 36286 – nvidia-drivers: version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2003-12-22 02:15:38 UTC]

There is a new version (5328) of the nvidia binary drivers, available at: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-5328/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run or ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-5328/

They don't compile cleanly with 2.6.0 kernel, hopefully the good people at minion.de will have a patch for us ready soon :)

Builds correctly with the minion patch.

Only change in the ebuild is the:
 PKG_V="pkg1"

compiles correctly.

[Comment 7 Alex Handy 2003-12-22 15:21:44 UTC]

Sorry, guess I was too slow. I'll package it up correctly next time. =)

[Comment 8 EJ Finneran 2003-12-22 23:59:35 UTC]

I wasn't sure if I should add a comment here or report a new bug but I'm having problems similiar to some seen in the forums with these new drivers.  If you tell them to use nvidia's agp they simply don't work, X shuts down right after starting.  If you use agpgart, X will start but glxgears gets 15fps Max.  

[Comment 9 Aaron Gyes 2003-12-23 16:42:08 UTC]

The 2.6 patch at minion.de has been updated, according to guys in #nvidia it fixes the problems people have been having.

[Comment 10 Aaron Gyes 2003-12-24 16:09:54 UTC]

This ebuild is somehow messed up. Even if I give it the newest patch, X will segfault while loading up glx. If I apply the patch and do it myself (after unmerging) it works fine.

[Comment 11 SpanKY 2003-12-26 13:50:52 UTC]

yeah, i'm finding that if i disable the glx extension, everything loads fine ... otherwise, anything that uses opengl segfaults

[Comment 12 Brandon Hale (RETIRED) 2003-12-26 13:51:28 UTC]

*  media-video/nvidia-kernel
      Latest version available: 1.0.5328

*  media-video/nvidia-glx
      Latest version available: 1.0.5328

Closing RESOLVED FIXED.

[Comment 13 Brandon Hale (RETIRED) 2003-12-26 13:56:15 UTC]

Please file a new bug for issues you may have with the driver
for tracking purposes. The original subject of this bug is solved, and
unrelated to your other issues.

TIA,
--tseng

[Comment 14 SpanKY 2003-12-26 14:01:49 UTC]

ive created Bug 36551 to handle the segfaults/etc... since this one was closed :P

technically it wasnt unrelated since spyderous version bumped the packages w/out reviewing this bug first

[Comment 15 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2003-12-27 05:13:30 UTC]

Largely because I didn't see the bug. It wasn't in my bug email at the time I made the bump. Anyway, moving to the other.

[Comment 16 Jeff Stuart 2004-01-01 04:23:51 UTC]

FYI, new Minion patch is up.  It's attached here (I hope!)
