Problem switching from Nvidia to ati

English Hardware
#1

Hi all.

I just removed from packages installed G04 packages installed when i set my nvidia graphics cards.

Now i don’t have that card, and be replaced from my integrated hd4200 ati.

Now kde5 don’t start, and gives error: check installation.

I have noticed this in Xorg.0.log, and i think that it’s the real problem:

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.     9.862] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: libnvidia-tls.so.375.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
     9.862] (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
     9.863] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)

Thanks

Yes, apparently there’s still some nvidia stuff around, at least libglx.so seems to still point to the nvidia version.

This should switch libglx.so to the Xorg version, and fix that problem:

sudo /sbin/update-alternatives --set libglx.so /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/xorg/xorg-libglx.so

And double check that all nvidia packages are really uninstalled:

zypper se -s nvidia

or

rpm -qa | grep nvidia

Good! :slight_smile:

xorg log says something about that fglrx module unloaded, but i can see the desktop.

That’s normal for Radeon cards.
By default (i.e. without an explicit xorg.conf that specifies a specific driver), Xorg tries to load a few drivers but only one (the “best” one it finds) is used in the end.

As you don’t have fglrx installed, it cannot load it and (hopefully) uses radeon then.
Xorg.0.log should tell.
