Description Holly Bostick 2005-10-18 03:03:14 UTC
The RPM for ati-drivers-8.18.6 contains 7 binary files, but only 5 of these
files are installed by the emerges of ati-drivers and ati-drivers-extra.

The files present within the RPM at /usr/X11R6/bin are:

aticonfig
fgl_glxgears
fglrx_pplay
fglrx_xgamma
fglrxconfig
fglrxinfo
fireglcontrolpanel

Three of these binaries are installed to /opt/ati/bin by the ati-drivers ebuild:

fglrx_xgamma
fglrxconfig
fglrxinfo

Two are installed to /opt/ati/bin by ati-drivers-extra:

fglrxgears
fireglcontrolpanel (as 'fireglcontrol')

aticonfig and fglrx_pplay are not installed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ati-drivers-8.18.6 and ati-drivers-extra-8.18.6.
2. attempt to run or locate aticonfig and fglrx_pplay

Actual Results:  
The applications were not found on the system.

Expected Results:  
Installed all binaries present in the RPM to the system.

The ati-drivers ebuild contains these lines:

rm -rf ${WORKDIR}/usr/X11R6/bin/{fgl_glxgears,fireglcontrolpanel}
rm -rf ${WORKDIR}/usr/X11R6/bin/{aticonfig,fglrx_pplay}

and ati-drivers-extra contains the installation for fgl_glxgears and
fireglcontrol, but not for aticonfig and fglrx_pplay. 

I don't honestly know what fglrx_pplay does, but I have heard that aticonfig is
an improvement on fglrxconfig and I would like to attempt to use it to generate
an xorg.conf that I might have some assurance is correctly set with ATI-specific
options without breaking the current functionality of other components of the X
server. I'd prefer not to use the ATI script directly (which I presume would
correctly install these components), as I want Portage to know about this
installation.

Is there some reason that these components should explicitly not be installed
under Gentoo?

Those components aren't working properly yet. I'll check if there is a solution
to the issue later.
