Description Roman Rakus 2010-10-11 23:44:17 CEST

I'm not sure if this bug is related to nvidia module, but trying to run something using GLX results in the error described in $Summary.

# glxinfo 
name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  138 (NV-GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  4 ()
  Resource id in failed request:  0x4e00003
  Serial number of failed request:  30
  Current serial number in output stream:  30

# nvidia-settings

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 260 error_code 3 request_code 138 minor_code 4)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)

Any clues how to find appropriate root of this error?

Please provide an output of nvidia-bug-report.sh

Comment 2 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-10-12 00:11:31 CEST

BTW, a new version of nvidia-settings will appears on the next push.

Now I see the the root error;

maybe it is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623742
Can I configure it by hand? (I'm sorry, I know you are not support :) )

Comment 4 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-10-12 12:33:58 CEST

There is a missmatch in the mirror for rpmfusion currently;
give a try with:
yum update --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide xorg-x11-nvidia\*

Please verify to have either akmod or kmod-nvidia on the kernel-2.6.36.6-39.fc14

This is ok. It was build few days ago, right? Thanks for it :)

Comment 6 Roman Rakus 2010-10-12 13:29:23 CEST

I have installed following nvidia packages:
# rpm -qa '*nvidia*'
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-260.19.06-1.fc14.x86_64
nvidia-settings-1.0-6.fc14.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-260.19.06-1.fc14.x86_64
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-4.fc14.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-260.19.06-1.fc14.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.35.6-39.fc14.x86_64-260.19.06-1.fc14.x86_64

Comment 7 Roman Rakus 2010-10-12 13:58:54 CEST

Finally fixed.
I have changed xorg.conf section files to;
Section "Files"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
    FontPath        "catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d"
    FontPath        "built-ins"
EndSection

This is what nvidia-config-display script does. Therefore the bug is not in nvidia module. Sorry for the noise.
When the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623742 will be fixed everything will work as expected.
