Bug 105615 – README.DRI missing from the documentation set

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Petr Baudis 2005-09-11 10:01:58 UTC]

README.DRI is missing from /usr/share/doc/xorg*/, even though it is referenced
by the xorg.conf(5) manual page. Either it should be added or the reference
removed from the manual page (and missing information about the DRI section
added instead). Note that the manpage also references http://www.x.org/, but I
wasn't able to find the file there (and Google neither).

Which version of xorg are you using?

[Comment 2 Petr Baudis 2005-09-11 12:57:05 UTC]

Sorry for not mentioning that - it's xorg-x11-6.9.2-r2. emerge info output, in
case it would be useful:

Oops, it's 6.8.2-r2! Sorry again! ;-)

[Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-09-11 13:09:07 UTC]

Created attachment 68189 [details, diff]
install-dri-readme.patch

Untested patch that ought to work.

[Comment 5 Petr Baudis 2005-09-12 08:03:53 UTC]

Tested - yes, the patch fixes the bug.

[Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-09-12 11:51:38 UTC]

Please file an upstream bug at bugs.freedesktop.org, xorg product, with the
patch, and post the URL here.

Thanks!

[Comment 7 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-11-20 21:32:06 UTC]

Has this been upstreamed yet by anyone?

[Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2005-11-21 08:32:40 UTC]

i just did; but the upstream answer is going to be that README.DRI is crap.
