I should note that I didn't install the nvidia driver via NVidia's official installer, but rather was testing out the beta rpm.livna.org RPMs (see http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83#c33). > I'm sending you a script that should check out your config for the > nvidia driver.

Well, I read through the script carefully before running it. When I ran it said: Checking /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a... You seem to have a libglx.a file in your /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions directory. This will most likely cause a conflict with the current drivers. Remove or rename this file, then run this script again. However $ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a xorg-x11-6.7.0-2 So this isn't a file from mesa, but from xorg-x11 itself. I am not happy with the idea of deleting or renaming that file, and anyway it will just be replaced the next time an upgrade for xorg-x11 comes out. I use rpm for managing everything on my system, which is why I didn't install the driver using NVidia's installer. I'd rather determine exactly what the problem is with Quake 3 and submit that information back the livna.org packagers. > If you're in doubt remove them anyway and rerun the nvidia installer... > (which I would rerun anyway). > If you do not exactly want to run an unknown script (can't blame you) : > > ldconfig -v | grep libGL | grep -v libGLU > on the command line (as root) > Here, it is : > > [root@Titanic root]# ldconfig -v | grep libGL | grep -v libGLU > libGLw.so.1 -> libGLw.so.1.0 > libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.6106 > libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6106 > > In your case you should see conflicting libraries (for GL or GLcore), to > remove them : > > locate <name of the library> > and once you have the full path : > > rm <full_path/name_of_the_library> > And 3 D rendering in quake should now be ok. The above seems like a good way for possibly determining what the conflict is, but I can't decipher what it is trying to tell me: # ldconfig -v | grep libGL | grep -v libGLU ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/libGLcore.so: No such file or directory ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/libGL.so: No such file or directory libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6106 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2 libGLw.so.1 -> libGLw.so.1.0 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2 When I look in /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/ I see two broken symlinks: # ls -al /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 6 10:39 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 6 10:39 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jul 6 10:39 libGLcore.so -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6106 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 6 10:39 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.6106 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 6 10:38 libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6106 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1836 Jul 6 10:35 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6106 Note that the first two symlinks point to non-existent files. # rpm -qa | grep nvidia | xargs rpm -ql | grep libGL /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/libGL.so /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/libGLcore.so /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.0.6106 /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1.0.6106 /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/nvidia/tls/libGL.so.1.2 I've no idea if the above could be the source of the Quake 3 problem, or why it would affect Quake 3 but not Unreal Tournament, Tux Racer, Chromium or any of the OpenGL X screensavers. Does any of the above mean anything to anyone here? Best, Darren -- ===================================================================== D. D.
