After yum updates my graphics driver from from kmod-nvidia - 100.14.19-1.2.6.23.8_34.fc7.i686 to kmod-nvidia - 169.07-1.2.6.23.12_52.fc7.i686 My code for a project does not compile any more. Here are the errors given by gcc: /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1: undefined reference to `_nv000042gl' /usr/lib/libGL.so: undefined reference to `_nv000044gl' Here are some basic information about my computer: uname -a Linux node-info 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 21:18:02 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux CPU: Intel core 2 Duo E6400 Graphics card: nvidia 7600GS, I'm using a livna graphics driver. The X windows runs fine, compiz fusion also works. I found similar report on http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/atrpms/users/10244 , the problem comes to be a bug in yum (Bugzilla Bug 425937). I don't know whether it is the same problem since my X server works fine and I don't think yum picked up a wrong arch.
Thanks for the report. We are sorry that we cannot help you with your problem, but we are not able to support binary-only drivers. If you would be able to reproduce this issue using only open source software, please, reopen this bug with the additional information, but in meantime I have no choice than to close this bug as CANTFIX (because we really cannot fix it). For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the unsupported 3rd party proprietary "nvidia" video driver, Nvidia provides indirect customer support via an online web based support forum. Nvidia monitors these web forums for commonly reported problems and passes them on to Nvidia engineers for investigation. Once they've isolated a particular problem, it is often fixed in a future video driver update. The NVNews Nvidia Linux driver forum is located at: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 Once you have reported this issue in the Nvidia web forums, others who may have experienced the particular problem may be able to assist. If there is a real bug occuring, Nvidia will be able to determine this, and will likely resolve the issue in a future driver update for the operating system releases that they officially support. While Red Hat does not support the proprietary nvidia driver, users requiring technical support may also find the various X.Org, XFree86, and Red Hat mailing lists helpful in finding assistance: X.Org mailing lists: http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgMailingLists XFree86 mailing lists: http://www.xfree86.org/sos/lists.html Red Hat mailing lists: https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo
