Bug 259501 – [x11 overlay] x11-libs/libdrm libdrm_nouveau support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2009-02-18 17:28:05 UTC]

Since commit 7e5c512104c3ae9b4ddd121f6bbf9464f8d73181, libdrm no longer builds libdrm_nouveau by default, it needs to be enabled by passing --enable-nouveau-experimental-api to configure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Thanks for the patch, assigning to overlay owners

[Comment 3 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-02-19 13:30:14 UTC]

Does the nouveau-specific API break other drivers?

If it doesn't, it's probably simpler to enable it all the time.

If it does though, ACK on the ebuild.

Thanks

libdrm_nouveau does not affect any other drivers than nouveau.

It has been disabled by default because the in-kernel drm does not yet have that API.

ACK from me.

Thanks

Fixed in the overlay, without the USE flag. Everyone gets libdrm_nouveau.so. I think it'll make it easier for everybody.

And we can always change it later anyways.

Thanks
