Attempting to run blender-2.28 after emerging, results in a Segmentation Fault. No error messages, no output. When attempting to do an strace, my machine locks up around the dri access section. For note, I'm using an IBM Thinkpad A22p - which has a Rage 128 w/ 16 MB of video ram. So, I decided to take the long way around and created an ebuild (and patch) to build blender using the NaN makefiles instead of autoconf. Most of the information necessary was gleaned from the blender forums. Now, everything appears to work just fine - emerges ok and runs correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge blender 2. /usr/bin/blender 3. Segmentation Fault Actual Results: Crashes hard with little info. Expected Results: Running correctly :)

Created attachment 15710 [details, diff] Patch to change some values in the makefiles Only build the dynamically linked blender, and link against the smpeg library.
that is strange here blender is working, could you please post your emerge info?

clean your ccache and try again building please
I don't actually have ccache installed. The only reason it's in the features list is that I don't feel like futzing with the make.globals file.
do not touch make.global but make.conf instead is your problem still present with 2.28a ? (renaming the original ebuild as there is no ebuild for 2.28a for now and 2.28c source is not yet available)
no need to rename existing ebuild to have 2.28a, it went into portage an hour ago. try it and report if it is better or if you still have the problem. if you have no more the problem, please close this bug report
The comment about changing make.globals had to do with removing ccache from the FEATURES list (as far as I understand, you can't remove features in make.conf). The 2.28a ebuild shows the same problem: A grey window (fullscreen) pops up, closes, and Segmentation Fault is all the output that is printed.
if you don't have ccache installed you won't have any issue from it. could you give me some info about your video drivers and xfree release?
XFree release: xfree-4.3.0-r3 r128 DRI driver (from xfree-drm-4.3.0-r6)
2.28c works?
No, 2.28c does not work (sorry about the lengthy delay in response). However, instead of simply crashing immediately, the gray, fullscreen background of what would normally be the main blender window appears briefly.
blender-2.30 works! No problems.
