I've installed a new video card. Upgrade of a Geforce 2 mx to a Geforce 4 Mx. kudzo found the new card and asked me did I want to get rid of the old card configuration. I said yes.
I downloaded the source files for linux from Nvidia.com and did the normal make install.
Now, when i start X it says that it can't find the GLcore module and X will not start.
here are some excerpts from the XFree86.0.log file
"(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module GLcore
(II) UnloadModule: "GLcore"
(EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (module does not exist, 0)"
"NV(0): DPMS enabled
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from Module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!"
Looking through the readme file it states that the above section should read "II NVIDIA(0):....." not "II NV(0)...."
Anybody had this trouble?? How can I fix it without re-installing?

Under the Module section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, comment out Load GLcore and Load dri
it should look somethinmg like:
Section "Module"
# Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
# Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "xie"
Load "v4l"
EndSection
when you are through.

Ok. I have made the changes you all have suggested. I also ran Xconfigurator and created a new XFree86 file but my problem is with the installation of the kernel driver. I get error saying that file is not found.
"/usr/include/asm/timex/h:10:21 asm/msr.h: no such file or directory"
this is when I run the :make install command for the Kernel.
This is being done on RH7.3 btw. I downloaded the tar's from Nvidia's website.
Any additional Ideas??? | |

Make sure you have the kernel-source RPM installed... | |

I'm not using the RPM's. I'm installing from the source .gz file. | |
