HEADS UP: xorg 7.4, nvidia, and KDE 4.x
Just a heads up for anyone who upgraded Xorg to 7.4 and uses the proprietary NVidia driver with KDE 4.x.
I had upgraded Xorg to 7.4 an that's when all hell broke loose. I have spent much time trying to track down the problems I was having, but I think everything is ironed out now. First, after I upgraded Xorg, X would not start at all with the NVidia driver. It would seem to start and then instantly crash with the error: Code:
dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol "miZeroLineScreenIndex" (EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/modules//libfw.so (EE) Failed to load module "wfb" (loader failed 7) (EE) NVIDIA(0): Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found Code:
# cd /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules # rm libwfb.so (this is actually a symlink to libnvidia-wfb.so.1) # cp XXX-libwfb.so.%%.xorg-server-1.5.3_4,1 libwfb.so Code:
Option "BackingStore" "1" Now, the only thing that does not work is gmplayer. Code:
$ gmplayer MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 10) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

if libdrm OR libGL OR dri are updated, please do
libdrm >> libGL and dri >> xorg-server ................... I've put that procedure in /xorg-server/ as it seems to fix X issues (newly). ................. That might help people reading the first post in this thread, also

Lots of additional information on this (including GLX conflicts between nv/NVIDIA) here:

Code:
AFTERINSTALL = { # Re-install nvidia-driver after xorg-server 'x11-servers/xorg-server*' => localbase() + '/sbin/portupgrade -f nvidia-driver', } |
