Package: nvidia-glx Version: 100.14.11-1 Severity: important
nvidia-glx package appears to divert... diversion by nvidia-glx from: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a diversion by nvidia-glx to: /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.a.xlibmesa .... however xserver-xorg-core provides... xserver-xorg-core: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so .... and so this diversion is a noop. Leads to a nasty situation where per glxinfo a system can report as DRI-enabled using vendor GLX for both client and server... $ glxinfo | egrep "direct|glx (vendor|version)" direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation client glx version string: 1.4 .... however *indirect* glx clients (compiz using aiglx, remote glx clients, etc) appear to wind up using xorg/mesa software-only glx; only visible evidence of this is in Xorg.0.log, GLX appears to init *twice* while this condition present (ie, until xorg/mesa libGLcore moved out of xorg extensions dir and into usr/lib/nvidia)... --- /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old 2007-09-09 13:05:58.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/log/Xorg.0.log 2007-09-09 13:06:07.000000000 +0100 : -(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1680x1050" -(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized -(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture -(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled -(==) RandR enabled XvMC, compositing performance vastly (visually) improved after addressing this hence "important". -- Package-specific info: uname -r: Linux peace 2.6.22.6 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 8 09:36:50 BST 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux /proc/version: Linux version 2.6.22.6 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 8 09:36:50 BST 2007 /proc/driver/nvidia/version: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce Go 7600] (rev a1) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.6 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nvidia-glx depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.2 100.14.11-1+20070827 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Li ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.2 100.14.11-1+20070908 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Li ii x11-common 1:7.2-5 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc nvidia-glx recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
