[Solved] -- Xorg server 1.7 + drivers nvidia

hollon · 2009-10-14 07:07:38

Hi,

this morning i have made an update (yaourt -Syu), the xorg server pass in version 1.7. I reinstall the nvidia drivers (extra/nvidia-173xx) for an FX5500 card.
I verifiy that the nvidia module is loaded.
But the xorg refuse to start:
The error message is :

dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaShared

Have you an idea to start X ?

Thanks,

JM.

I did a pacman -Syu this morning too. There is an update to the nvidia driver as well (185.18.36-2 -> 190.36-1). My xorg is working. exept for crashes in my vmware virtual machines. Could it be that your mirror was not in sync and failed to update the nvidia drivers?

hollon · 2009-10-14 08:47:30

OK but the FX 5500 card work only with the nvidia-173xx.

True. Accept my apologies for not reading correctly

And according to the date this driver shows I guess it needs to be updated to work with 1.7. By now you should downgrade xorg to the version of the extra repository to get your X back again. You may try the 'xf86-video-nv' or 'xf86-video-nouveau' packages but I guess these will not meet your desires

OK i think as well that i must downgrade xorg, but probably i use the wrong command because the only message i receive is :
nothing to downgrade

Harey · 2009-10-14 10:46:26

I did this with pacman:

pacman -S extra/xorg-server extra/xf86-input-evdev extra/xf86-input-keyboard extra/xf86-input-mouse

For me this was sufficient.

hollon · 2009-10-14 10:54:41

Yes, that's work fine now.
Thanks a lot Harey for your help,

JM.

marecki · 2009-10-14 12:39:38

I have the same problem. After some research i started new xorg from testing by executing

startx -- -ignoreABI

I'm using nvidia drivers 190.32 on non stock kernel.

Spy · 2009-10-16 13:12:24

nvidia 96xx also not work, same error : dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaShared

s3kt0r · 2009-10-16 18:00:52

Are you guys able to install nvidia-utils with xorg-server 1.7 ???? How about libgl conflict with nvidia-utils?

flamelab · 2009-10-16 21:42:55

Only nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta work with Xorg 1.7 for now. If you install these packages, no problem.

s3kt0r · 2009-10-16 23:03:23

What version are we talking about? 190.36? I presume that it is (both AUR's nvidia-beta and testing/nvidia), and that's the version I'm trying to run, with Xorg 1.7. I already have a thread started on another issue with libxfont, which developped into a conflict between libgl (installed or not by xorg-server, doesn't matter) and nvidia-utils. Without nvidia-utils, I can't install (and probably shouldn't force install it, if that works at all in this particular case, I didn't try it) nvidia 190.36, neither 185.18.36, for that matter.

cheers

flamelab · 2009-10-16 23:07:09

Nvidia-utils replaces libgl, you must not have libgl on the system with nvidia present.

s3kt0r · 2009-10-16 23:54:59

Yeah, I managed to figure that out after writing previous post. Thanks anyways. Well, I can say that in my case, xorg 1.7 with 190.36 leads to major crash, xorg 1.7 with 185.18.36 leads to "dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaShared", but xorg 1.6.3.901 works fine with both driver versions. I have a 9500gt and custom git kernel 20091015.

flamelab · 2009-10-17 00:01:52

If you have a custom 2.6.32 kernel, that's the problem. Nvidia hasn't yet released a driver compatible with .32 kernel.

s3kt0r · 2009-10-17 08:48:18

Thanks again. I'm confused because:

kernel 2.6.32-rc4+ xorg 1.7 + nvidia 190.36/185.18.36 = fail
kernel 2.6.32-rc4 + xorg 1.6.3.901 + nvidia 190.36 = pass

I'll stick with 1.6.3.901 for now, since performance with 190.36 is quite good.

flamelab · 2009-10-17 13:22:08

Check out the new version of nvidia-beta ...

s3kt0r · 2009-10-17 18:47:27

Still the same. Thanks for all the help.

umpalumpa1985 · 2009-10-21 03:21:49

For me, using nvidia 190.* with xorg-server 1.7 leads to a kernel panic when X tries to start ( at least i think it's a kernel panic, keyboard lights flash and a hard lock occurs). anybody got any ideas on this?

cwjiof · 2009-10-23 11:15:28

I'm going to abandon the nvidia-173xx and nvidia-173xx-utils packages, and turn to xf86-video-vesa, xf86-video-nv, or nouveau. They all work well on my FX5200 card.

nouveau > nv > vesa

So use them in this order

brazzmonkey · 2009-10-31 20:58:06

Same issue here with kernel 2.6.31 and nvidia-173.14.20-2 with a GeForce 5200.
I switched to nv... waiting for a fix.

strummer · 2009-11-01 13:31:09

I used 96xx drivers, they don't work anymore, so I switched to nv. Anyway, stuff like this doesn't suprime me anymore, something always gets broken

But this was the first time I heard about nouveau, gonna have to try that..

Please try and give us feedback. In my case it fails with drm issue, see here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83723 .

oringo · 2009-11-02 16:29:11

Moving to nouveau was easy and fixed the problem for me. Thanks for the suggestion! To the archlinux team, I think there should have been a warning on the homepage about upgrading to Xorg server 1.7. I saw the announcement about moving xorg to extras, but didn't make any connection to the nvidia legacy drivers.
