Portage forced me to update to opengl-update-2.2.1 in order to try the latest 7174-r3 nvidia-glx libraries. I was testing to see if these new libraries fix problems seen in 7xxx series of nvidia drivers with quadro graphics cards when drawing quad strips. I found at out that the new glx libraries do not fix my problems so I downgraded back to glx-6629-r5 and kernel-6629-r4. When I tried to start X the screen just flashed a few times. Checking Xorg.0.log showed no EE errors so I couldn't explain what the problem was. Downgrading back to opengl-update-2.1.1-r1 fixed this problem again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174, nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3, and opengl-update-2.2.1 2. opengl-update nvidia 3. start X to make sure it works 4. stop xdm and downgrade to any 1.0.6629 nvidia kernel and any 1.0.6629 glx 5. opengl-update nvidia 6. rmmod the nvidia (and also agpgart) if loaded, or just reboot the system to make sure drivers are removed cleanly 7. After reboot or rmmoding the agpgart+nvidia, make sure nvidia is loaded and try starting X Actual Results: starting X failed, and although the xdm reported there was a problem starting X I couldn't find any errors "EE" in Xorg.0.log Expected Results: X should be started downgrading back to opengl-update 2.1.1-r1 fixes this problem. Also this was on a machine with a Quadro4 (don't know if this error can be reproduced on geforce ..yet)
I didn't get the X crash, but I have some problem with nvidia and opengl-update too, after I use opengl-update nvidia, nearly all the program linked to opengl crashed: mplayer, Qt..., the only way to fix is to switch back to xorg-x11 opengl, but after downgrade opengl-update, everything works like a charm. BTW, I don't know if the problem is 6629 only, since with 7174 I cannot start my X

ok so I broke my gentoo again 1) downgrade to nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 and nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r5 from nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 and nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4 2) opengl-update nvidia (using the opengl-update-2.2.1) 3) ssh in from another computer and /etc/init.d/xdm stop 4) rmmod nvidia 5) modprobe nvidia 6) /etc/init.d/xdm start 7) X Fails to start This is the information you requested: /root# ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 15 16:31 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.4.so /root# ls -l /lib/tls/libc.so.6 ls: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: No such file or directory /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib total 7123 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 731 May 4 15:53 libGL.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 4 15:53 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 4 15:53 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 600408 May 4 15:53 libGL.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 4 15:53 libGLcore.so -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 4 15:53 libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6675104 May 4 15:53 libGLcore.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 4 15:53 libnvidia-tls.so -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 4 15:53 libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3312 May 4 15:53 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/tls ls: /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/tls: No such file or directory /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 4 15:53 libnvidia-tls.so -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 4 15:53 libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3024 May 4 15:53 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 /root# ..btw this is on amd64 ..i have another athlon-mp box I can try this on

Ok, I made a opengl-update-2.2.0 version of 6629 and 7176 for you guys too... Please try out 1.0.6629-r6. Also, the older versions are updated to require <opengl-update-2.2.0
Sorry, I confused myself ..I was unable to re-create this error on gentoo x86 but it exists on amd64. The x86 system is running nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 and glx-1.0.6629-r5 1) emerge opengl-update-2.2.1 2) opengl-update nvidia 3) ssh in and /etc/init.d/xdm stop 4) rmmod nvidia 5) modprobe nvidia 6) /etc/init.d/xdm start 7) X starts without problems The same output you asked for but on the working x86 machine: /root# ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 29 13:23 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.4.so /root# ls -l /lib/tls/libc.so.6 ls: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: No such file or directory /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib total 7524 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 727 Apr 29 19:20 libGL.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Apr 29 19:20 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Apr 29 19:20 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 442592 Apr 29 19:20 libGL.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 29 19:20 libGLcore.so -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 29 19:20 libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7230360 Apr 29 19:20 libGLcore.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 29 19:20 libnvidia-tls.so -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 29 19:20 libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2352 Apr 29 19:20 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 29 19:29 tls -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/tls lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 29 19:29 /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/tls -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 29 19:20 libnvidia-tls.so -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 29 19:20 libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2004 Apr 29 19:20 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 I think i've found the solution to the problem. As you can see on the amd64 install of packages <=nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r5 from comment #4 we have: /root# ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/tls ls: /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/tls: No such file or directory so if you simply do: 1) cd /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib 2) ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls tls 3) opengl-update nvidia 4) /etc/init.d/xdm restart 5) X starts ok again for some reason this link wasn't made in the nvidia-glx-1.0.6629 installs for amd64 and should be fixed perhaps for a release of "nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r6" and maybe marked as stable for amd64?
it is fixed in -r6, but that's not exactly the problem... see bug #90047
Downgrading to x11-base/opengl-update-2.1.1-r1 solved the issue for me, too, but now emerge --newuse -Du world wants to update to x11-base/opengl-update-2.2.1. I added x11-base/opengl-update-2.2.1 to my /etc/portage/package.mask for the time being to circumvent that problem. It would be great if media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111-r1 could be made compatible to x11-base/opengl-update-2.2.1, too, so that I can remove it from my package.mask.
Why do you need 6111?
Thank you for making 6111 compatible with the new opengl-update. I need 6111 because that is the latest version of the driver that works for me (see http://www.sebastian-bergmann.de/blog/archives/473-Trouble-with-the-NVIDIA-Linux-Driver.html).
Jeremy, I'd like to thank you, too. I'm also one of those who stick with 1.0.6111. Once again, thanks!
Wow still stuck on 1.0.6111? The newest drivers are still broken for you? nvidia must be doing something really wrong if they still haven't fixed whatever your problem seems to be.
