Hello
After the update of xorg-server:
:: Could not detect nvidia-utils on system
:: Will attempt to use built-in libwfb
What IS this? I got an nVidia Quadro 4 980 XGL, which isn't supported anymore, i have to stick with the nvidia-96xx drivers. Can be a check for nvidia-96xx-utils? They're nvidia-utils for another version, so what's wrong with 'em?

Hm - good call, I wonder if it should check that. File a bug-report (Bugs link at the top) and I'm sure it will be looked at.

i got this too but i thought it was only cause my nvidia utils is broken. i seem to be using nvidia normally despite that msg when i was upgrading xorg

the old nvidia-utils package doesn't come with a custom libwfb.so version and uses the built-in xorg version of the library. There's no need to worry about this.

Exactly, only nvidia 100.x and newer come with their own wfb and should not use the one xorg-server 1.4 started to provide.

Hi all!
I got this message to but in my case the direct rendering stop working.
I try to reinstall the nvidia-71xx and nvidia-71xx-utils packages but it's doesn't solve anything.
When I run 'glxinfo' this say:
"Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."
a couple of times and ends with "SEGMENTATION FAULT" error.
In the nvidia-settings options, in section OpenGL/GLX this say:
"The OpenGL extension 'GLX' is not supported by
the X server or there was a problem retrieving
GLX information from the X server."
What can I try to fix it??

I have exactly the same issue.
I had the same message with nvidia-utils (I use nvidia-71xx)
I get the same message with glxinfo
and when I start a X server I have that in my log:
(II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE
...
(EE) GLX is not supported with the Composite extension
So this might have something to do with some defaults beeing different somewhere. I fixed the glx-issue with that:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
#Driver "nv"
Driver "nvidia"
...
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
EndSection
EDIT:
I also want to mention: If this solution doesn't work for you in some GL applications, than maybe you do a different fix:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
