Description Till Schäfer 2015-01-01 19:52:17 UTC
after upgrading to =x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.2.901-r1 together with media-libs/mesa-10.3.5-r1, x11-proto/glproto-1.4.17-r1 and app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.3.1 no GLX extension is available. 

I have tried to re-emerge nvidia-drivers after that, bug with no success.

The error message in Xorg.log is: 
[    11.081] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[    11.081] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[    11.081] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
[    11.081] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[    11.081] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.


Reproducible: Always

Comment 5 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-01-01 21:00:23 UTC
Please attach your xorg.conf then. I'm afraid this is the one case we hadn't figured out yet ;/.
Comment 6 Michael Seifert 2015-01-01 22:14:39 UTC
I had a very similar issue using the radeon driver. After an update from x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.2.901 to x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.2.901-r1, the GLX module failed to load.

It turned out that the ModulePath in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20opengl.conf was set to /usr/lib32/xorg/modules whereas it should have been /usr/lib64/xorg/modules. Changing the path manually did the job.

I also saved the log file, if needed.

Didn't it contain the lib64 path as well? Please also paste 'ls -R /usr/lib32/xorg'.

Could you try removing the Module section completely? It shouldn't be necessary, and it's my first guess.

removing that section did not help

i have also generated a complete new xorg.conf file (see Attachmen) from nvidia-settings. nothing changed.

Same with nouveau and evdev drivers.
emerge -1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev helped me.

Try removing these 2 lines:

Section "Files"
EndSection

Removing them does indeed fix the problem. 
thx for the info. 


Can we do something against nvidia-settings autogenerating that section? 
Why is this section only problemativ for the -r1 ebuild?
Comment 15 Harris Landgarten 2015-01-04 18:47:07 UTC
I ran into this problem too. In my case switching to nvidia-glx caused a "something is wrong in gnome box" that was unrecoverable after glxinfo was typed.

removing

Section Files
EndSection

from xorg.conf fixed the issue.

Would be good if we could warn users in some automated way.
Comment 16 Bernd Buschinski 2015-01-04 18:52:02 UTC
I had 2 (not empty) Files Sections in 2 files 
20opengl.conf (seems to be generated from emerge -1v nvidia-drivers)
80-fonts.conf (manually written to add more font path's)


20opengl only had ModulePath, and 80-fonts only FontPath.
And it didn't work.
It only worked AFTER I removed my 80-fonts.conf, it seems there MUST be only 1 Files Section, they do not merge somehow... is it really a desirable behavior?

(with old xorg-server&co it worked fine)
Comment 17 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2015-01-04 18:58:11 UTC
This really is the same as bug #534128, im gonna go ahead and mark dupe, so we can get everyone looking at the same place for info.  See comment #28 there (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534128#c28), this is not desirable behavior, it's been reported upstream.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 534128 ***

Sorry that this is late, but I forgot adding me to CC...
The bug is already closed, but anyway:

No, the lib64 path was not contained in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20opengl.conf.

Here is the requested output:
# ls -R /usr/lib32/xorg
/usr/lib32/xorg:
modules

/usr/lib32/xorg/modules:
extensions

/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions:
libglx.so

whereas /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is a dead link to /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so. Maybe this is a remain from the fglrx driver which I used before the radeon driver?
Comment 19 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-05-09 13:34:20 UTC
You should not be using any nvidia-drivers installed tool to write xorg.conf. You should at most need a <Section "Device"> in a file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with newer xorg-server versions.
