[Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick

 

Well, I did it. Browsing a bit through NVIDIA forums, I discovered that I was missing the correct ModulePath in xorg.conf to load libglx of Nvidia, not X.org's one.
Anyway, I'm a bit curious because jockey did create the X.org configuration file for me, and that line was not added.
Is jockey in fault, or on a default system Nvidia glx module will have priority over others?

For the ones who just want to know, in case, how I solved:
in xorg.conf, in section "Files", be sure that the first module path is Nvidia one

....
Section "Files"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/nvidia-96/xorg/"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
.....
