will the nvidia questions ever end

[jerboyd]

not sure what i'm doing wrong here. i've got an nvidia geforce 9600m card in my laptop and have never had a problem with it using the akmod-nvidia package. i've installed that and it's dependencies, added nouveau.modeset=0 to my menu.lst, verified that the nouveau module is blacklisted and rebuilt the initrd using the suggested command at the top of the blacklist-nouveau.conf file and i still get no 3d support. the nvidia logo shows during boot and nvidia display settings does not tell me that the driver is not in use but using fusion-icon to load compiz doesn't give me any 3d effects, nothing happens. when i load urban terror i get a message saying i have no 3d support. any help would be appreciated.

when i run fusion-icon from a terminal and choose compiz as my window manager i get this

... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

so i turned off selinux and did that again and got this

... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
compiz (core) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

the windows all lost their decorations so again i switch back to metacity.

any ideas as to what is going on?

remove the nvidia driver.. its Buggy.

Try if it works without SELinux.
If it doesn't, try to uninstall the driver and reinstall it with SELinux off.
As a last resort you could also try to manually copy /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (I may be wrong about the exact paths, though).

yes, disabling selinux, relabeling the filesystem and re-installing worked. i don't really like the idea of running a machine with selinux disabled though. i've been getting other selinux problems besides this one, namely Xorg seems to be conflicting with it. something to do with execstack. is this a bug or excessive security?

Hi,

It is a problem in the Nvidia driver.

does
setsebool -P allow_execstack on
allow execstack system wide? i was also getting selinux allerts for execstack with dropbox and would like to be able to run that while keeping selinux enabled.

Hi,

It does set it system wide. You might go ahead with it temporarily but highly recommend these problems with my link be send to the developers of the programs that you use that have this problem.
