I just built a new root volume with systemd and gnome-3.22. gdm working fine with nvidia gl but after sign in with the jump to my user session I get the gnome something went wrong dialog. journalctl show the following: gnome-session[1540]: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) gnome-session[1540]: Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) gnome-session[1540]: Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) gnome-session[1540]: Value in failed request: 0x0 gnome-session[1540]: Serial number of failed request: 27 gnome-session[1540]: Current serial number in output stream: 28 gnome-session[1540]: gnome-session-check-accelerated: GL Helper exited with code 256 gnome-session-c[1588]: eglInitialize() failed gnome-session[1540]: gnome-session-check-accelerated: GLES Helper exited with code 256 gnome-session[1540]: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) gnome-session[1540]: Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) gnome-session[1540]: Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) gnome-session[1540]: Value in failed request: 0x0 gnome-session[1540]: Serial number of failed request: 27 gnome-session[1540]: Current serial number in output stream: 28 gnome-session[1540]: gnome-session-check-accelerated: GL Helper exited with code 256 gnome-session-c[1595]: eglInitialize() failed gnome-session[1540]: gnome-session-check-accelerated: GLES Helper exited with code 256 gnome-session[1540]: gnome-session-binary[1540]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1 gnome-session-binary[1540]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1 If I eselect opengl = xorg all runs as expected. If I eselect opengl = nvidia after I am running all seems ok but gnome-control-center will not start. gnome-control-center is fine with opengl = xorg.
turned out the issue was user not in video group. There is still issues with xorg-server and nvidia-drivers that are documented in other bugs.
