The ntpl USE flag is set in the /etc/make.conf but is not used in xorg-server-1.4.2 Due to lack of compatible fglrx driver to xorg-server 1.5.x I'm forced to install the 1.4.2 version but would like to use it in the best possible way. "media-libs/mesa" needs to be installed with the same "ntpl" USE setting as xorg-server and thus emerging xorg-server leads to an error. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2 USE="dri hal ipv6 sdl xorg xprint -3dfx -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal (-nptl)" [ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-7.2 USE="nptl* -debug -doc -motif -pic -xcb" VIDEO_CARDS="-i810 -mach64 -mga -none -r128 -radeon -s3virge -savage -sis (-sunffb) -tdfx -trident -via" 0 kB Merge error because mesa does not match the xorg-server "ntpl" setting. Expected Results: xorg-server-1.4.2 is comiles with the nptl flag set.

${PORTDIR}/base/package.use.mask: # Donnie Berkholz <dberkholz@gentoo.org> (12 Nov 2007) # freedesktop.org bug #7459 committed fix breaks 3D apps # but "fix" is only relevant on USE=nptl =media-libs/mesa-7.0* nptl =x11-base/xorg-server-1.4* nptl
I have just hit this bug. At the time of this writing, mesa-7.3-r1 is the current version for mesa, for which nptl is NOT use-masked in the profile. Therefore the use check in xorg-server-1.4.2 bails out if mesa is compiled with nptl. What is the correct way to resolve this? Is the nptl issue fixed in mesa-7.3?
I find kaffeine crashes X on my Acer Aspire 1 with xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 so attempted to revert to 1.4.2 and had the same problem. This uses xf86-video-intel. I had to add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.mask to get xorg-server-1.4.2 to build again: >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.0 >=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.6.3 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.0 >=media-libs/mesa-7.1 >=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.0
1) xorg-server 1.5 and mesa 7.3 no longer have NPTL issues, just build both with the same USE flags. 2) xorg-server 1.4.2 is no longer supported since 1.5.3 is now the latest stable. Closing
