I'm having problems using the nouveau driver for my Nvidia GeForce 9100. Xorg starts up and works fine, I am able to use everything, although in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have:

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[    36.166] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[    36.166] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

and when I run glxinfo or glxgears from shell I get

libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau

but the dmesg reveal that the driver is loaded

$ dmesg | grep nouveau

$ lspci | grep VGA

I installed and removed the Nvidia proprietary drivers several times so there might be something wrong with libraries and whatnots. It looks to me like the system is looking for /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so while it shouldn't. To my knowledge, there is no CentOS 6 package that provides that file.

Any help will be very appreciated, thank you in advance.

  • @JennyD It is related to that question since it is the same machine, but I decided to ask two different questions because it is about two different drivers. Sorry about the confusion. – Leo Jun 18 '15 at 13:35

    @Leo Sorry; i should have been more careful in my reading. But in either case, the question doesn't belong on this site. You could try on [unix.se] - not because they are "friendlier", but because your questions are a better match for that site. – Jenny D Jun 18 '15 at 14:12
