Hi Juanito
If he changes the path to /usr/local/lib/ in the extension and loads
it before other extensions containing libEGL/libGL the nvidia versions
should override the other versions.

Vaguiner indicated that solve a lot of the issues he had, including
the  DRI2: failed to authenticate  error.

You might want to try repackaging your nvidia extension with /usr/lib changed to /usr/local/lib.

I have the feeling that the nvidia extension uses customised versions of libEGL/libGL and thus they need to be kept separate?

Hi cudain
I noticed a couple of things in reply #17:

... I was able to resolve 90% of the driver issues by moving the /usr/lib folder to /usr/local/lib as many Xorg 3d dependencies overlap these nvidia files. ...

You might want to try repackaging your nvidia extension with /usr/lib changed to /usr/local/lib.

... The order of packages is very important, the driver must be placed before Xorg 3D.
Here is the onboot.lst needed for everything to work correctly:

Code: [Select]

...
graphics-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
nvidia-525.116.04-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
vulkan-tools.tcz ...

Check your  onboot.lst  file to see if it conforms to this. Maybe post a copy
of your onboot.lst  file for us to check.

hi , thanks
of these list beignet.tcz
cogl.tcz
godot.tcz
libvulkan.tcz
mesa-demos.tcz
open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz
simple-screensaver.tcz
weston.tcz
xf86-video-vmware.tcz
Xorg-7.7-3d-dev.tcz
i had xorg 3d , mesa, libvulkan  - the later 2 was marked for deletion , and then xord 3d was removed automatically , it was not in list . so installed it again then ran sudo nvidea -- this time the
libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/local/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
was not there. it got fixed i guess.
but the remaining 2 things are still there.
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

(nvidia-settings:7217): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 19:48:24.371: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
now whats the next step ..

Hi cudain

... it says .. xorg 7.7 3d cant be deleted.. ...

One of the other extensions you have installed probably depends on
xorg 7.7-3d, that's why it won't let you delete it. If any of the following
are installed, that's the reason:

Code: [Select]

beignet.tcz
cogl.tcz
godot.tcz
libvulkan.tcz
mesa-demos.tcz
open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz
simple-screensaver.tcz
weston.tcz
xf86-video-vmware.tcz
Xorg-7.7-3d-dev.tcz

mm should i uninstall these things in the list ? i do have some things listed here in my tcl 
so to resolve this  libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate -- these things shuld be uninstalled  ? and reinstalled in order or something ?

CorePlus / Re: how to compile my kernel? and converting tinycore initrd to traditional rootfs?

« Last post by CNK on December 01, 2025, 10:16:53 PM »

I built a smaller kernel for TC16 with things like SMP, ACPI, and NFS support disabled and it boots fine on a 486 laptop with 16MB RAM.

Replace vmlinuz with that after unpacking core.gz to a partition (I use an ext2 filesystem since it's simpler than ext3/4 so maybe uses the least RAM). Depending on how much RAM you have the normal tc-config might work OK, but if it's taking an eternity to boot even with the smaller kernel, try replacing /etc/init.d/tc-config with this really stripped down version I made. It just does the bare minimum to get things started. Uncomment the "#/sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add 2>&1 >/dev/null &" line to enable loading drivers during start up, I run that manually after it's started up. I also set up /etc/fstab manually before booting.

I use LOADLIN to boot TCL from MSDOS.

I switched it back to TC 16 and making no other changes now it works, of course. Thanks for everyone's help!
