EL client doesn't work with nvidia beta driver 367.18 (crash a second after login)

[ht990332]

After updating to nvidia's new driver, EL crashes a second after logging in. Sadly, nvidia doesn't provide debug libraries. Any ideas?

Core was generated by `./el'.

Does it work if you turn shadows off?

[ht990332]

Nope. Same crash. And nvidia apparently does not provide debug symbols for their libraries.

[pjbroad]

It crashes at the same line whether shadows are on or off? I ask because that line is an if statement which executes a different glClear() depending on the state of shadows and STENCIL support.

I also note that this version of tagged a beta. Do you have any other problems, apart from EL?

[ht990332]

Yes. Xorg crashes in usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so after EL crashes.
I emailed nvidia about this but they could not reproduce it since they probably tried other applications.
Would it be ok if I send them a link to this bug report?

[raduprv]

Sure, why not?

In addition to that, I'm just installing the driver myself. Wish me luck.....

[ht990332]

Good luck. This may of course be related to which GPU you use. I have a fermi card.

[pjbroad]

Turns out my GPU (Geforce GT 240) is not supported by that driver, I'm now official in possession of a legacy card. Again.

[ht990332]

Ok, I emailed nvidia with a link to this report.
Paul, you're probably on the 340.xx branch then which should still get updates for Xserver ABI changes.

[ht990332]

Looks like ArchLinux decided, in their infinite wisdom, to push this beta driver into 'extra' repo without putting it in 'testing' first.
Edit: 367.27 driver fixes this issue.
