Problems with my NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 on opensuse 13.1

English Hardware
#1

Hi,

I’m having problems with my video card in openSUSE 13.1.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 and in the first day that I installed the drivers, everything worked perfectly until I installed steam and played some games.

But after that I was some time without playing and in the meantime I remember that there was an update from NVIDIA.
And today when I try to play, a GLX error appeared:

“OpenGL GLX extention not suported by display”

I entered the “NVIDIA X Server Settings” and I went in the “OpenGL / GLX Information” tab and the following message appears:

“Failed to query the GLX server vendor.”

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Anyway, thank you!

So you installed the driver from the nvidia repo, right?

Please post a list of the nvidia and kernel packages you have installed:

rpm -qa | egrep "nvidia|kernel"

Which kernel are you actually using?

uname -a

Please install the package “Mesa-demo-x” and post the output of:

glxinfo | grep render

Yes.

Please post a list of the nvidia and kernel packages you have installed:

rpm -qa | egrep "nvidia|kernel"

You have both the G02 and the G03 driver installed, this cannot work.
And you’re the second person this weekend. See also: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/498044-X11-shot-after-nVIDIA-update?p=2643828#post2643828 :wink:

Please uninstall all nvidia packages and only install the G03 driver:
nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop, x11-video-nvidiaG03, nvidia-glG03, nvidia-computeG03

Then it should work again.

I suppose you ran that as root, did you?
You have to run this inside the graphical session in a terminal window as normal user. Otherwise it won’t find the graphical display.
But it doesn’t really matter any more. The reason for your problem is obvious already.
