Description Bassam 2008-09-30 20:21:54 UTC 
The libdrm ebuild doesn't check if drm support is enabled in the kernel, causing Xorg to freeze computer on launch if such is the case.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable drm support in the kernel
2.Emerge libdrm and Xorg
3.Launch Xorg
Comment 1 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-30 14:40:17 UTC 
libdrm does not add any kernel drivers and doesn't need to check if DRM drivers are built or not. The steps you described are supposed to work.

I fail to see what the issue here really is. Could you explain it a bit more?

Thanks
