Description Richard Benjamin Voigt 2007-06-02 04:35:30 UTC
xorg-server-1.3.0.0 should be changed to not block the latest ati-drivers.  Initially I used the ati binary installer from their website because it seemed newer than what portage had, and it worked.  Then portage caught up and it was still masked.

I believe the block line in xorg-server should be changed to:
!<x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.37

Also, I had missing libGL errors on ati-drivers-8.37.6 until I used
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64/xorg -lXext" emerge -av ati-drivers

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xorg-server
2. emerge ati-drivers

Actual Results:  
Reports blocking.

Expected Results:  
install x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.37.6 (fglrx)

Fixed, thanks! Please file any secondary bugs as separate issues, bulking them together on a single bug doesn't work.
Comment 2 Richard Benjamin Voigt 2007-06-03 00:20:22 UTC
Am I to assume "secondary bugs" refers to the compile errors on ati-drivers-8.37.6, and LDFLAGS used to fix them?
Comment 3 Richard Benjamin Voigt 2007-06-03 00:21:50 UTC
Was there a version bump with the fix?

Dependency changes generally don't get bumps.
