It is not clear which one to use in a modular installation of X, it seems that x11-libs/libdrm should be used but then the modules are not installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. joshuabaergen@gentoo.org 2005-10-08 08:38:51 0000 x11-drm is currently meant for monolithic X. I'm not sure the current snapshots will support modular correctly. I'm also not familiar enough with x11-drm's development to know where they're headed or if they've fixed this already. In any case, the modular version will be newer. Commenting out line 140 (the emake line) in x11-drm-20050807.ebuild will temporarily resolve this conflict. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-10-08 10:05:37 0000 Bryan, can you please change x11-drm to only install the module and tools, and _not_ the headers or libdrm? It would be more convenient to have them in a separate package, so whenever the kernel's updated you don't need to recompile the whole thing. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-10-08 10:06:19 0000 FWIW, you're also welcome to take over maintenance of libdrm if you'd like. Just let us know. alonbl@gentoo.org 2005-10-08 14:06:37 0000 Oh... Thanks! But I am doing my first steps in Xorg... I really got into this since I want my ATI card work with TVout and aceeleration... It is not easy though... :( dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-10-08 19:33:00 0000 OK, I suppose the offer also applies to Bryan then. =) alonbl@gentoo.org 2005-10-29 09:34:38 0000 Hi! I've seen the fix, thanks! I have one comment... If I install x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.99.15 I cannot install x11-libs/libdrm... So maybe x11-drm should ask which {xorg-x11, xorg-server} is installed and continue installing libdrm if none modular X is installed? battousai@gentoo.org 2005-10-29 11:49:14 0000 Well, I can't think of anything in the tree that would need libdrm with monolithic xorg-x11 installed. If you have a particular package in mind, let me know and I can add logic to the x11-drm ebuild to install the library. As it is, x11-drm only needs object files for libdrm, not the actual library. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-10-29 12:21:43 0000 x11-drm has no reason to install libdrm if you're using monolithic X, because nothing uses it, as Bryan alluded.
