Description Juan Magallón 2021-10-04 10:44:18 CEST
Just a remainder to rebuild nVidia (and perhaps others) binary driver.

Trying tp update to new x11-server:

# urpmi --auto-update
...
The following package has to be removed for others to be upgraded:
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-470.74-1.mga9.nonfree.x86_64
 (due to unsatisfied xserver-abi(videodrv) < 25) (y/N) n

# urpmi --auto-update --keep
...
A requested package cannot be installed:
x11-server-common-21.0.99.901-2.mga9.x86_64 (in order to keep x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-470.74-1.mga9.nonfree.x86_64)

Hm,
I dont think nVidia have updated their driver the new abi yet, but I guess I can push it to testing and we'll see how  / if it works...
Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2021-10-04 17:10:33 CEST
I've submitted  nvidia-current-470.74-2.mga9 to nonfree updates_testing with updated abi version...

As I dont have nVidia hw anymore, I cant test if it actually works, so YMMV....

If it breaks, you get to keep the pieces :)
Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2021-10-04 17:28:02 CEST
Actually, we might be lucky for once...

The 470.74 README.txt lists support for xorg 21.1
Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2021-10-04 17:29:05 CEST
So if it works for you, I will move it to release
Comment 5 Juan Magallón 2021-10-04 18:47:54 CEST
Working fine on my home box, GL included.
Another box at works seems to be working also, can't access the box
right now but GDM seems running ang XOrg log is OK.
Comment 6 Thomas Backlund 2021-10-04 19:50:16 CEST
