GLX module doesn't load and NVIDIA driver crash system

My config is :
ABIT K7TA
with the Nvidia geForce256 graphic card
and Debian SID.

I’ve got 2 different independant problems.

The first one.
I’ve installer nvidia’s drivers but my system freeze after a fiew seconds under X. I’ve tried to disable the Agp option in my XFree config but this had no effect.
When I’ve done a
cat /proc/nv/card0
it display that I do not have enable the AGP driver.
I do not have compiled into my kernel which is tje 2.4.13 the agpart.

Any idea how can I have more stability ?

The second one.

I use the “nv” driver from XFree, mesa-dev package, glut3g, utah-glx.
I’ve got the glx.so in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules

but the driver wont be load at the X startup

error message provide by startx is

(WW) LoadModule: given non-canonical module name
“/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/glx.so”
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/glx.so
(EE) LoadModule: Module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/glx.so does not have a
glxModuleData data object.
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/glx.so
(EE) Failed to load module “/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/glx.so” (invalid module, 0)

how can I fix this ?

My main goal is to developp little applications in OpenGL !!!

you need xfree4, i think you have it.
you need (better way) to have the packages of the nvidia drivers, but not the sources.
you need to modify xf86-config4 file and add
load glx in the load section and
and driver= “nv” instead of “nvidia”.
of course, when you reconfigure x (by any manner) the xf86-config file changes and loose the modifications you’ve made.
i don’t see other needs. that’s work so fine on my computer!

I can’t use NVIDIA driver because they are freezing all my system !!!
So I’ve decided to dont use them but the glx module (from packahe utah-glx) isnt loaded at startup.
I’ve put in my XFConfig the instruction
Load “glx” but it doesn’t get it to work

I got the same problem. My Xwinodw crash and cannot restart.

utah-glx (a horrible name IMO) is useless with NVIDIA cards.

Try to get NVIDIA drivers running: disable AGP, use 16 bit color depth, make sure you have not 2 versions of the driver installed and the GLX part is loading the wrong kernel module, …

hello,

sorry i’ve made some errors:

don’t replace “nvidia” by “nv”, but “nv” by “nvidia”.
Add load “glx” and erase any load “dri”.

Try the sources codes instead the packages.

if you make a config for x , you’ll need to do that modify again
