Missing glxserver_nvidia submodule?

dippynark opened this issue · 4 comments

I am trying to configure OpenGL 3D hardware acceleration - this project has got me very close, however there appears to be a missing sub module from my X Server log output.

Full details of this issue is on SO here - I can copy them here though if that'd be better.

Hi @dippynark yeah could you share it here? that post seems to be deleted, plus it'll help future ppl :)

@squat Apologies, I just deleted it because I solved my problem straight after posting (typical) - the 3D X sever just couldn't find the library so have hacked the discovery togther with a symlink for now.

The library libglxserver_nvidia.so being discoverable was the key - thanks for the quick reply

I think I just needed to remove the --no-opengl-files flag here to make the library appear, although haven't checked whether that library existed already.

These are the commands I am running from within my 3D X Server (I'm sure there's a better way which I'll look for when everything else is working):

cp -a /usr/local/nvidia/lib/libglxserver_nvidia.so.440.82 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglxserver_nvidia.so.440.82 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglxserver_nvidia.so
