[SOLVED] Nvidia driver can't handle Depth 24
Hi veryone.
Well this is my second post...
It's about an issue I'm having with the nvidia-96xx driver. I did many test and concluded that it was the DefaultDepth on my xorg.conf file the one that is causing this problem.
When it's set to 16 everything is ok and I can start the Xserver however, when I change it to 24 (The one that I had before) I get a segfault (That's what I think it is).
Xorg.0.log:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting[/b]Also on the log it seems I don't have installed the freetype module. I made a search and it's already installed on my system:
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so es propiedad de freetype2-cleartype 2.3.9-1Right now I'm at Depth 16, can't run compiz because of the Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32 error.
I miss a few compiz plugins (expose, scale, etc). And have no problem with metacity+composite, but I'd like to solve this.
I hope someone can help

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia driver can't handle Depth 24
I'm having the same trouble. ;/
today after pacman -Syu I can't start the X.
I have the freetype module installed too but the error shows that I haven't.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia driver can't handle Depth 24
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so is the freetype library, not the xorg module.
You can remove:
Load "freetype"
from your xorg.conf. The freetype module has been removed bacause it is now integrated in the xorg-server.

Updated to xorg-server 1.6 from testing, I removed Load freetype and the error no longer appears .
I read a few web pages and now I know that xorg 1.6 no longer needs to load Freetype module. And on this Gentoo bug report:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261934
They say that the version 1.5.3 doesn't need it too. So I think lampih can remove it too.
I still have the problem with the DefaulDepth option at my xorg.conf file.
If I change it the Xserver crashes 
Thak's for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia driver can't handle Depth 24
I removed Load "freetype" and now my xorg works, but in the same conditions of The_infinite_loop, only if the DefaultDepth is set to 16.
thanks guys. ;]

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia driver can't handle Depth 24
Solved It!
I continued reading many web pages and found a solution for this.
The steps that I followed were a lot, but the one that made it work was adding the following instructions to my /boot/grub/menu.lst
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/45b4794b-c900-4418-a20e-073ace0b2c31 ro vga=773 agp=off nopat enable_mtrr_cleanup
initrd /kernel26.img
Actually only nopat option did the trick, but added both =P.
Now I can set my DefaultDepth to 24 (on Screen Section) and use Compiz:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
# DefaultColorDepth 24
DefaultDepth 24
Also discovered that the xserver loads dri and dri2 by default, and according to the wiki it must be disable if you are running the nvidia driver. The output on Xorg log is:
(WW) "dri" will not be loaded unless you've specified it to be loaded elsewhere.
(WW) "dri2" will not be loaded unless you've specified it to be loaded elsewhere.
(II) "dri" will be loaded even though the default is to disable it.
(II) "dri2" will be loaded even though the default is to disable it.
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 4.0
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 4.0The fisrt 2 lineas appear because I specified dri not to be loaded on my xorg.conf file adding Disable DRI on Modules section.
Hope this help
Thank's to everyone who read my post.
