           Summary: nvidia-kernel-common's version mismatched with nvidia-
                    glx and nvidia-kernel-source
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux-restricted-modules
        AssignedTo: fabbione at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: zerokarmaleft at gmail.com
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


these are the current version of nvidia-* packages in the Hoary repository that
are required for compiling the kernel module with a customized kernel:

nvidia-glx:
  Installed: 1.0.7167-0ubuntu25
nvidia-kernel-source:
  Installed: 1.0.7167-0ubuntu25
nvidia-kernel-common:
  Installed: 1.0.6629+1

My customized kernel and modules compile fine.  Though on installation, dpkg is
complaining about nvidia-kernel-common, so it registers my custom nvidia kernel
module package as broken:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nvidia-kernel-2.6.10.orange:
 nvidia-kernel-2.6.10.orange depends on nvidia-kernel-common (>= 1.0.7167); however:
  Version of nvidia-kernel-common on system is 1.0.6629+1.
dpkg: error processing nvidia-kernel-2.6.10.orange (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 nvidia-kernel-2.6.10.orange

kern.log shows the nvidia kernel module loading fine:

Apr  2 01:56:55 localhost kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints
kernel.Apr  2 01:56:55 localhost kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA
Kernel Module  1.0-7167  Fri Feb 25 09:08:22 PST 2005

X starts fine with GLX and Composite enabled.  Here's the critical section from
xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "RenderAccel"           "true"
#       Option          "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
        Option          "NvAGP"                 "1"
EndSection

But Xorg.0.log shows some suspicious messages about unresolved symbols for GLX:

(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
(==) RandR enabled
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!

And here's the output from a test run of glxgears:

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.
