Description Neil 2007-09-27 09:28:39 UTC 
Recent update of xorg-server-1.4 required updates to nvidia-drivers (and ATI) which didn't support the new xorg-server-1.4.

The current drivers were updated to work with current xorg-server-1.4 on 19th September.

The legacy nvidia-drivers (96** and 71**) have now been updated too (see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=99186 and http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=99185) and support current versions of xorg-server.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =xorg-base/xorg-
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1 depends on >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19

Expected Results:  
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1 should work with...

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.01
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.01
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19

Except that we need relevant ebuilds bumped first.

And optimally we need anything but 100.14.19 from the 100.x series gone to make the deps actually reasonably maintainable in xorg-server (like, >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.01)

Should probably put something about the xorg-server dep in the summary, I saw this bug but just thought it was just another version bump request. Didn't expect it had anything to do with the deps.


I also didn't realize that the 96.* and 71.* ebuilds were masked, and apologize for that. Need to check package.unmask first ;)

There was, but the subject was changed (by Jakub, one of the bug wranglers) because of the dependency on version bumps of the nvidia legacy drivers.  It is however mentioned in the description.

Legacy nvidia-drivers have hit portage, and xorg-server-1.4-r2 supports these.

Pleased to report that everything has upgraded fine and is working :)

Thanks to the respective devs/maintainers.
