nvidia-glx - glx invalid module format

[Christoph Georgi]

Hi,

I just installed a fresh copy of Hoary final and it's great!

There is still a problem left with the nvidia-glx driver: The system 
locks hard as soon as the glx driver gets loaded:

---
X11.0.log:
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
---

libglx.so can not be found with '$ modprobe -l | grep libglx' and is not 
inserted either after the system booted up (what else would one expect). 
I tried to insert the module manually with '$ insmod libglx.so') and got 
the good old "Invalid moudule format" error.

On Warty I did never experience the problem and the X log is "fine":

---
chg at daemon:/var/log $ pager XFree86.0.log | grep glx
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
---

ASAIK the nvidia driver source code can be downloaded for Hoary?! I'll 
try tonight to compile the driver myself. Maybe it works out this way..

Has anybody a similar problem and/or a solution?


thanks
.christoph
