The minimal xorg config file needed to work with opengl:

Section "Files"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Nvidia Card"
        Driver "nvidia"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

@graysky as I thought it is indeed a xorg server related problem. The patches in -16 are good, keep the historical patches.

So, in sum the package is ok. But a mention to alert users for the need of xorg config file would be good.

A post_install message or even a script to install a minimal config file on demand should be the best solution in my opinion.

OK... I'll leave it to you guys to figure it out. If it is a config option, I will add a post-install and provide an example. Keep me updated.

vicpt commented on 2021-02-24 21:07 (UTC)

@graysky let the package in -16 with historical patches for now. We need to test different xorg configs just to be sure.

vicpt commented on 2021-02-24 21:05 (UTC)

Same thing with -16 no OpenGL. It can be xorg server related configs...

graysky commented on 2021-02-24 20:59 (UTC)

Let me know if the original patches or new patches give different results. I can add a post_install that directs users to create the needed config once you guys tell me which patches to use.

@bieel1503 at first I didn't. Now after trying few games that used to work I noticed they stop working. What package are you using, -14 or -15? @graysky reverted the patches he used in -15 to the original ones used in -14 to build the new one -16.

I'm gonna test -16 (with historical patches plus the new one for 5.11) and report back.

@vicpt It worked, thank you very much. But have you noticed a problem with OpenGL? It just won't work, somehow.

vicpt commented on 2021-02-24 19:35 (UTC)

@graysky having that minimal config file included in the package must cause problems for users that have specific configurations, so maybe informing users they need that file in order to have xorg server loading the correct legacy driver should be useful. Maybe a pinned post?

graysky commented on 2021-02-24 19:22 (UTC)

@vicpt - OK, I will push -16 which is just -14 (my patches + the new one).

Recommend that you share your results on the appropriate wiki page.
