New Xorg server ABI

leigh123linux · #1 21st January 2010, 12:01 PM

They have bumped the Xorg server version to 1.7.99

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/b...buildID=152218

This means that people using the nvidia driver will need to add this to xorg.conf

Code:

Section "ServerFlags" 
    Option "IgnoreABI" "true" 
EndSection

Hi leigh123linux,
I noticed the ABI problem after today's updates. I have put that option in my xorg.conf,but that doesn't seem to have an effect.I still have to issue

Code:

startx -- -ignoreABI

from init 3

I'll attach my xorg.conf to this reply.

Regards,
STEVE555

Update nouveau, you shouldn't need to add Option "IgnoreABI" "true" to xorg.conf

Hi leigh123linux,
I solved my problem,I use the xf86-video-nouveau drivers from git.All I had to do was a re-compile and I've set Option "IgnoreABI" to "false" in my xorg.conf. and I get the new User Account Dialogue (it keeps sending me to the Gnome Desktop,but that is another story).

I would like to thank you very much for your help.

The new nouveau driver works fine here.

Code:

[leigh@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep -e nouveau -e Xorg |sort
