Hello, My system has been running well but just by chance I noticed a strange error in my xorg-server log:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. The X log indeed indicates that the loaded GLX module is *not* the nvidia GLX module: (II) LoadModule: "glx" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation" As a consequence, the nvidia glx module fails to initialize and I suppose that opengl has fallen back to software rendering. I cannot pinpoint this error to any specific change in my system because, as I mentioned, my system has been running well and there has been no need to check the logs or to check anything else. After doing some searching, I did find that others have reported the same problem and the solution is to delete the Xorg glx module, which is located at /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so. After deleting (or renaming) this file and then restarting X the problem vanishes. However, this solution is far from ideal. There must be a proper way to fix this issue. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions? My xorg.conf has the necessary module paths set: ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia" My eselect is set to opengl nvidia: eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] nvidia * [2] xorg-x11 Also, re-installing the nvidia-drivers, as the X log file suggests, did not solve the problem. Until I find a proper fix, I'll have to keep the xorg glx module deleted. Frank Peters
