Bug 259645 – media-libs/mesa-7.{1,2,3} doesn't provide DRI support for radeonhd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2009-02-19 21:36:33 UTC]

x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd requires r300_dri.so to work correctly when DRI is enabled, otherwise it fallbacks to software rendering. But current mesa ebuilds ignore VIDEO_CARDS="radeonhd", so r300_dri.so is missing.
I'll attach a patch which fixes this issue for me.

Reassigning to x11 herd.

Still applies to mesa-7.3-r1

[Comment 4 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2009-03-23 20:27:05 UTC]

Added to the live mesa.
Might blob to 7.3, might blob to the 7.4. Time will show. :]

"You should modify the VIDEO_CARDS variable on your /etc/make.conf file by adding both radeonhd and radeon to it.
Note: Adding both radeon and radeonhd to /etc/make.conf is needed because mesa requires radeon to build libglx." quote: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RadeonHD

I guess It's definitively time otherwise this will stick forever. ;)

Wow, this page sucks! It recommends to install git sources by using "./configure --prefix=/usr", which is probably the _best_ way to screw your system over.

Sigh, we should clean gentoo-wiki up at some point, it's just loaded with crap in pretty much all the X11-related pages.

This seems fixed in mesa-7.4.1-r1

[Comment 8 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2009-04-30 18:57:49 UTC]

Well, I'm closing this one...
