Indirect GLX rendering CentOS 7.2

[larsli]

After updating to CentOS 7.2, our legacy OpenGL software will no longer start. It just fails with error message: 21 :BadValue (Integer parameter out of range for operation...)

I understand that this has to do with indirect GLX rendering not allowed by default. I have tried to set: Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "True" in xorg.conf, but that doesn't seem to help. The only way I can get the software to start is to manually run startx -- +iglx

How can I enable this without having to start X manually? (I have Nvidia drivers installed.)

I've got the exactly same Problem because i installed the nvidia driver.

I tryed adding tihs to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-nvidia.conf but ended up with an not starting Xorg

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
        Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "true"
EndSection

Edit:
The question is, does this still work?

Might be related to the newest NV driver... Have you tried to use the 340 branch?

On which glx command it fails?

Also, what's the output of glxinfo and xdpyinfo are telling you?

The problem are changed default values in the Xorg Server that shipped with CentOS 7.2 ...

An usefull workarround would be to tell GDM to run the Xorg with the +iglx flag, but i cant find any config to append this flag.

one idea is to create an wrapper Xorg executable:

Code: Select all

mv /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/bin/Xorg.original
echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env bash\nexec /usr/bin/Xorg.original "$@" +iglx' > /usr/bin/Xorg
chmod +x /usr/bin/Xorg
chcon --type=bin_t /usr/bin/Xorg

Will test it tomorrow, but it is still just an work around...

Update:
It works wonderful, but maybe there is an additional step necessary, check if all libGL.so are linked to the nvidia libary:

Code: Select all

 find /usr -iname "*libGL.so*" -exec ls -l {} \; 

For me the libGL.so.1.2.0 was not linked so I needed to to:

Code: Select all

mv /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0 /usr/lib/oldlibGL.so.1.2.0
ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0
mv /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2.0 /usr/lib64/oldlibGL.so.1.2.0
ln -s /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2.0
find /usr -iname "*libGL.so*" -exec ls -l {} \;

The missing link caused the problem:

Code: Select all

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Hope this helps - These commands need to be runned as root, but I guess you knew this.

changing the Xorg binary with a script gives me blank screen when i restart X.
What am i doing wrong?
