IIRC they are used by the other (open) drivers to communicate with the |
| 49 |
dri modules in kernel... nvidia X driver communicates with the |
| 50 |
nvidia kernel driver on its own and doesn't use those two X modules |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
eselect opengl creates those two as symlinks whnen you select xorg-x11, |
| 53 |
and when you select nvidia, they are just not created |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
on intel machine: |
| 56 |
tabletka ~ # ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so |
| 57 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Dec 13 16:02 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so -> ../../../opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so |
| 58 |
tabletka ~ # qfile /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so |
| 59 |
x11-base/xorg-server (/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so) |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
that said, on all my nvidia setups (with eselect opengl nvidia) I get those errors and everything |
| 63 |
works ok, on all others (well, intel only ;) with eselect opengl |
| 64 |
xorg-x11 the modules are there... |
| 65 |
