From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: See URL for details. After most recent xorg update to 6.7.0-9, Open GL games crash with various errors. For example Unreal Tournament gives this; WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change! Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0". Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault] During the installation of the xorg updates, there is a conflict noted in up2date and/or yum update as follows; Test install failed because of package conflicts: file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.7.0-9 conflicts with file from package fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0 This is a direct conflict between the xorg updates and ATI driver packages. Most users are having to uninstall their ATI drivers, install the xorg updates, then reinstall the ATI drivers. It seemed to work for some, others (like myself) not. The reason I mention it is because I beleive this is relates to the opengl game crashing issues. Here's some related links; http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20783 http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23243 http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23071 http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/i...t=0&#entry30323 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.7.0-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run up2date for xorg 6.7.0-9 updates, don't install xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL due to conflicts with fglrx 2. Deinstall ATI drivers 3. Install xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL 4. Reinstall ATI Drivers Actual Results: Opengl games crash even though ATI drivers install correctly and are verified as running with glxinfo. Expected Results: Opengl games do not crash Additional info:
One link above is incorrect, it should be as follows. Added another relevant link. http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=5426&st=0&#entry30323 http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1333227291#post1333227291
This isn't an X.Org bug. You're using proprietary drivers which are not installed from rpm packages, and overwrite Red Hat supplied X server modules and libraries with proprietary versions from the hardware vendor. When you upgrade to a new Red Hat X release, your proprietary modules/libs will be overwritten by rpm. This is normal and expected. Any time you upgrade X.Org, you will have to reinstall the proprietary driver again. Alternatively, install the same drivers from 3rd party rpm packages. If you require assistance for any of the above suggestions, please subscribe to X.Org or Red Hat mailing lists, where there are many users who may be able to help you reinstall and/or reconfigure your proprietary drivers.
