Hi, I'm not sure if these comments are relevant here or should go in a separate bug... The glibc 2.3.2-27.9.6 update the other day did not play well with my NVIDIA FX5600, using the latest driver (1.0-4496), crashing when loading X - where the NVIDIA logo should be displayed. I got X working agian by reverting glibc to 2.3.2-11.9. Looking at XFree86.0.log, it got as far as: (II) Loading extension GLX ...then just stopped. I was able to reboot (ctrl-alt-del seting runlevel to 6) and in runlevel 3, revert glibc to the earlier version, after which ithings were back to normal. I don't know if this is a bug in glibc or one in the NVIDIA driver, and I've already posted in the NVIDIA forums about it. It's possible that it's related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=219352 My system is Redhat 9 with Athlon and a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 / 128MB DDR / 8x AGP / DVI card. $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.21-1.ll.acpi #1 Sat Jun 14 13:06:47 PDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux The problem turned out to be the glibc-2.3.2-27.9.6 update on RHN last Thursday. The "...27.9.7" replacement showed up on RHN Friday and updating to that version fixed everything. Thanks to Dr. Lincoln Durey at EmperorLinux for the info and fix instructions. Confirming that glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7 works ok for me - Just installed it and restarted X with no problems. Thanks. OK, so everybody is fine then. I close the bug. Not really, I have upgraded from original 2.3.2-11.9 to 2.3.2-27.9.7 and some third party applications started to segfault. Had to revert back. Has not noticed problems with RedHat applications, however. |
