It seems that the order of the module paths in xorg.conf |
| 9 |
makes all the difference. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
By placing the nvidia GLX directory before the xorg GLX |
| 12 |
directory the problem disappears and the nvidia GLX drivers |
| 13 |
are loaded correctly. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Before (in xorg.conf): |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" |
| 18 |
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
After: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia" |
| 23 |
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Now things work as expected. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Apparently this path ordering was not necessary before some |
| 28 |
change was made either to either to xorg-server or nvidia-drivers. |
| 29 |
I had not experienced the problem until very recently even though |
| 30 |
my xorg.conf contained the reverse ordering. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
This is the proper solution that I was seeking. Now there is no |
| 33 |
need for deleting/renaming files as a workaround. |
