They're two different bugs. -5 was completely broken - it caused just
about everything in the world to crash, no matter what your graphics
card is - and also it introduced a change which stopped NVIDIA working.
Somewhere around -8 or so the complete breakage was fixed, but the
change which prevents the NVIDIA driver working right has never been
touched. It's been in every build of glibc since.
If you want a working glibc+NVIDIA, you either have to run 2.14.90-4, or
use the latest build with the patch from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223 , which reverts the
specific change in glibc that stopped NVIDIA working.
OK so to recap, I'm using an old Nvidia driver because the latest one doesn't
support the Xorg 1.11.1-1 ABI
I'm using an old glibc because the latest one seg faults glx apps(ie glxgears)
Nvidia 275.28
glibc-2.14.90-5 patched from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742714)
and now I have updates.....
kdelibs-4.7.1-2.fc16.1
kdelibs-common-4.7.1-2.fc16.1
kdelibs-devel-4.7.1-2.fc16.1
qt-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-config-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-devel-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-mysql-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-x11-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-x11-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
which if I install causes kdeinit4 not to work.
the latest glibc in the repos is 2.14.90-10, I asume this doesn't include the
patch from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223, which if i
install causes glx apps to segfault
so if I install the glibc -10 from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223 will that let me install
the latest updates of kdelibs and qt and not segfault glx apps? then all I
need to do is wait for nvidia to support the ABI from the latest Xorg??
sorry to be pain
