19.3, 19.4 Only: GLX does not work after the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver is installed from an RPM package file#

Description#

After the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver is installed from an RPM package file, the OpenGL Extension to the X Window System (GLX) does not work. This issue occurs because the RPM package’s postinstall script fails to create the symbolic link /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglxserver_nvidia.so.

Version#

This issue affects all RPM package file distributions of the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver for Red Hat Distributions since NVIDIA vGPU software 19.3.

Workaround#

19.3, 19.4 only: Contact NVIDIA Enterprise Support for a workaround for this issue.

Status#

Resolved in NVIDIA vGPU software 19.5
