Both compiles the library.
x11-base/x11-drm compiles also the kernel modules.

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

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.

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.

FWIW, you're also welcome to take over maintenance of libdrm if you'd like.
Just
let us know.

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... :(

OK, I suppose the offer also applies to Bryan then. =)

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?

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.

------- Comment #8 From Donnie Berkholz 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.
