undefined symbol: noPanoramiXExtension error:
nvidia-96xx package receipt has xorg-server as a DEPENDS
When nvidia-96xx is installed tazpkg should auto-install DEPENDS xorg-server
before installing nvidia-96xx.
It would be useful to know why you had to manually install xorg-server.
Failed to initialize the GLX module error:
http://pastebin.com/94yYaBh9 -> Line 86-92
xorg-server is loading Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
when it should be loading Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
This may be the result of installing xorg-server after nvidia-96xx which could overwrite link's to NVIDIA's libglx and other shared library's with Xorgs.
Try a forced reinstall of nvidia96xx :
#tazpkg install nvidia-96xx-96.43.20_2.6.37.tazpkg --forced

Thx Mojo, it still does not work. Now my system hangs...
I tried rolling iso as well, still unable to get x working.
I spent too many hours on this. I give up and will try gibor flavor.
Once again thank you for your time.

@totoetsasoeur
I do not want to invite you to this tricky business, wasting your time by trying it.
But keep in mind:
after (!) having installed nvidia you must change the /etc/rcS-file so that instead of nouveau the module nvidia is loaded - at the next boot, though!
In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf-file there must be written ,,nvidia" at the drivers part.
Check as well /usr/lib/X11/modules/drivers - there must be the nvidia_drv.so file!
Then it should work.
Offline
I just repeated this on cooking (slitaz-devel-rc2 file, obtained from gibor) - and it worked like that.
Therefore, Sir: certain hope?
My personal status quo: at least I know and experienced that this nvidia-thing is solvable under Slitaz. No I have three issues left:
- to install fluxbox - done, no problem. But to use the style MerleKay (does not work yet)
- to use Kompozer in Slitaz
- to wait for a texlive-tazpkg package or something that can give the desired LaTeX-,,motor" under Slitaz
Offline
No luck neither with gibor's ISO... after launching booting process, system hangs on a black screnn... :-(
@mb,
=> file nvidia_drv.so is in /usr/lib/X11/modules/drivers
=> "nvidia" is in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf
=> according to my Xorg.0.log, the problem is related to glx:

Uff, I just tested the latest RC2 - and it was not (!) possible using a CD to get any working Xscreen, not even with nomodeset in the command line. So I remembered a bit how a lucky boy did it:
tazpkg recharge
tazhw setup nvidia --non-free
(it selected nvidia-173.xx)
downloaded it plus some mesa-dependencies. Of course it did not run - then! As the module nouveau was loaded and cannot be unloaded. So:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf
- insert nvidia - ctrl+0, ctrl+x
nano /etc/rcS
- remove ,,nouveau", ,,nvidia" is still there
But then, I booted from a CD:
tazlito writeiso
cp /home/slitaz/distro/rootcd/boot/bzImage rootfs.gz /mnt/hdaX
and now I booted manually from Grub
root (hd0,X-1)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw nomodeset
initrd /rootfs.gz
- booted straight into a wonderful Xscreen.
Uff.... one of the most trick workarounds I have had yet with Sitaz.
@totoetsasoeur - it is very important that you get the right nvidia-driver for your card! There are so many different, one cannot fu...d tell which one is the right one. Do not mind, though: the big distros have the same trouble to identify it right and set it up correct.
@all
The first time where I was not able to boot a Slitaz CD to a useful Xscreen. So still there is something wrong with 4.0-RC2, at least on my machine.
Offline
I confirm that 4.0-RC2 live cd can NOT launch X session on my lenovo_T61p (nvidia Quadro FX570M).
:-(
Offline
I could finally make it working as shown here:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/slitaz-40-rc2-install-nvidia-non-free-drivers
Offline
I could have saved both of us time by having you identify your graphics chipset.
lspci | grep -i VGA
nvidia-96xx is a legacy driver for old nvidia grahics chip,it doesn't support the nvidia Quadro.
Live and learn...

This is a known issue with the Nvidia driver from Taz repos. It's broken.
Must download from Nvidia's web site and recompile the kernel. Sorry.

@all
One year later:
It seems that the "nvidia-96xx-96.43.20_.tazpkg"-package from the repo (undigest) is still broken.
I'm having the same issues as reported here with Sz 4.0 and a Geforce 2mx400
Using the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run" from the nvidia-site works, but I had to install a lot of packages first (toolchain,kernel-sources etc.)I do not need them for anything else, so I'm a little shirty about this unwanted stuff just to get this driver.
As Slitaz is mostly used on older hardware it would be really nice to have
"tazpkg-packages" which are working.
Offline
try the nvidia-173xx driver (I use this driver and it works well)
open terminal as root
# tazpkg -gi nvidia-173xx
then change Driver "nv" to "nvidia"
# leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60.Device.conf
Driver "nvidia"
------
Logout/in X session
then to set the new configuration
# nvidia-settings

Hi rerivero
Thanks for your suggestion, but according to this nvidia-site
http://www.nvidia.pl/object/IO_32667.html
the 173.xx-Driver doesn't support my old card.
(GeForce2 MX 400 id:0x0110).
The last one which will work is the 96.43.xx driver.
Offline
Ok just commented: my card is nvidia GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a according to the web-site is for the driver 304.xx.
I have a running 173xx (specifically the package: nvidia-173xx-173.14.31_2.6.37.tazpkg)
and works well ..

Hi rerivero
I wished it would work but it doesn't
from xorg.log:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 GPU installed in this system is
(WW) NVIDIA(0): supported through the NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy drivers.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for

@ all dev's
well, I imagine that you spend your Time, and do your best, to get Slitaz 5 up and running
But does that mean that Sz4 is no longer supported?
As long as Sz5 isn't released (stable), Sz4 should be supported.(imho).
If you agree,
than the Question is, why can't we have a working nvidia "96.43.xx-tazpkg"?
No one needs it as an answer is not accepted...;-)
