I can confirm this behaviour... exact same output for me...

[Comment 4 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-04-02 20:22:28 UTC]

this seems to be more related to x11 than to media-video

[Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-04-03 20:59:51 UTC]

Since it says XFree, I have almost no doubt that it's a hardcoded name of the log file in yanc code that is incorrect after switching to Xorg.

[Comment 6 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-05-15 14:29:36 UTC]

I'm assuming that xorg compatibility patch is not fixing the problem then?

[Comment 7 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2006-04-22 15:06:18 UTC]

Dropping x11 CC per comment #5.  Adding media-video since they're one of the maintaining herds (should probably just be x11-drivers though).

[Comment 8 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-07-23 10:52:01 UTC]

Please, remove this broken ebuild... There's about 1 year old upstream rewrite in Java/SWT in case someone is bored, but the thing that's in portage is broken and dead (also another crash in Bug 83773).

[Comment 9 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2006-08-21 18:08:02 UTC]

Ebuild is gone.
