Hi everyone! While giving up on closed nvidia drivers for the time being (I'll give it another shot in a month or two, when I get more free time), I just tried the open-source alternative for 3D on my old nVidia GeForce 4, namely nouveau. This driver also crashes X (though not so severely, for it brings me back into the prompt after the crash), so I need some advice. I read the Xorg.0.log, and while it does not give me any hint as to why the crash occurred, I see that it looks for the file /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so, and fails to find it (because the file isn't there, as I checked). But it passes over that error and continues, crashing somewhat later for no apparent reason in the log. So, three questions: 1) Why is the file nouveau_dri.so missing? 2) Why does X crash? 3) What can I do about it? The log file and xorg.conf are attached. I should also mention that the basic nv driver Just Works, of course without 3D. Any help?
