My xorg.conf
Now that I look at the Xorg.0.log more carefully, I see that the problem is that the module is compiled for Xorg 7.4. I have 7.2 installed (the latest build marked as stable for x86). The release notes for the 8.11 ATI binary driver say it supports "XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4". Shouldn't the ebuild be able to take this into account when installing on machines with a version of Xorg other than 7.4? Same problem on amd64. In short, the ebuild just support the latest xorg. I'll update the deps accordingly. Can you please add support in the ebuild for older X.Org releases? According to the release notes it still supports xorg-server 1.3. I'm a stable user, but I always update to the latest ati-driver due to bug fixes, newer kernel etc. With only supporting the latest X.Org version a lot of stable users will be locked out from using the new ati-drivers. I agree that the ebuild should support older X.org (or xorg-server), as there is no reason not to. See bug #256874 for a very simple and trivial fix for the ebuild. I guess this doesn't matter anymore, since xorg-server-1.5.3 went stable yesterday on amd64 and x86. |
