Maybe we can think about a different solution for the near future, but until then, this workaround works fine.
For historical reasons i use even the nvidia installer (173.14.12 at the moment) and a "ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/*wfb*" shows me this: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.1 -> libnvidia-wfb.so.173.14.12 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.173.14.12 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libshadowfb.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so -> libwfb.so.1.4 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so.1.4 For me it looks like that the nvidia installer don't touch libwfb.so. If you extract the nvidia installer "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-* -x" you can see that there is no libwfb.so included. And the README.txt says this: "An X module for wrapped software rendering (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.x.y.z and optionally, /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libwfb.so); this module is used by the X driver to perform software rendering on GeForce 8 series GPUs. If libwfb.so already exists, nvidia-installer will not overwrite it. Otherwise, it will create a symbolic link from libwfb.so to libnvidia-wfb.so.x.y.z." Could it be that this workaround is for elder nvidia drivers or is it coincidence that i can't see it on my pc? See you, Attila
