Howdy, |

I have a home server/htpc (~x86) that I'm finally updating after a few |
4 |
months and I hit an issue with xorg-server. Here's the background: |
5 |
|
6 |
Was at xorg-server-1.6.3 and current sync tried to upgrade to 1.7.1, |
7 |
which failed to compile. In researching on b.g.o., discovered that |
8 |
nvidia has not released a driver yet that will work with 1.7.1, so |
9 |
followed the bug report directions and masked out several packages to |
10 |
prevent 1.7.1 upgrading. |
11 |
|
12 |
So next attempt at upgrading was to 1.6.5. That failed too, so back |
13 |
to b.g.o. where the first directions were to install nvidia- |
14 |
drivers-190.42. But nvidia-drivers has a dependency to xorg- |
15 |
server-1.6.5, so had to mask >1.6.3 to get nvidia to emerge. Then hit |
16 |
the bug with nvidia-settings with the work around of symbolically |
17 |
linking /usr/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmproto.h to /usr/include/X11/ |
18 |
extensions/xf86vmode.h. Finally removed the >xorg-server-1.6.3 mask |
19 |
and successfully emerged. |
20 |
|
21 |
So now it looks like I have xorg-server-1.6.5 and nvidia- |
22 |
drivers-190.42 installed. |
23 |
|
24 |
But when starting the xorg server, it is unable to load glx, dri, and |
25 |
dri2 modules: |

48 |
|
49 |
I've even rebooted and still see the same problem. |
50 |
|
51 |
I'm not having any luck finding a hint on b.g.o. or with searching (I |
52 |
use startpage instead of google). |
53 |
|
54 |
Here's my xorg.conf which works with xorg-server-1.6.3 (it's a little |
55 |
explicit because it is connected (DVI) to an A/V receiver (Yamaha RX- |
56 |
V861) which doesn't pass thru EDID): |
