Bug 295419 – x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.9.99.901 and 64bit machines

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kobboi 2009-12-02 10:47:54 UTC]

Snippet below says everything I can tell you for the moment:

* 
 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
 * 
 * Function `drmGetDeviceNameFromFd' implicitly converted to pointer at i830_dri.c:386
 * 
 *  Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/
 *  with the maintaining herd of the package.
 * 
 * ERROR: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.9.99.901 failed:
 *   install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above


Reproducible: Always

Note that the package does not complete the install, so it's not just a QA "detail".

you may need a newer version of libdrm, could be the libdrm-9999

Found it in x11 overlay...

From intellinuxgraphics mailinglist I got an info that libdrm 2.4.15+ is needed.

[Comment 5 Kobboi 2009-12-05 23:35:37 UTC]

Thanks for the information. I won't be able to try it until Tuesday. If upgrading libdrm solves the issue, the ebuild should be updated.

[Comment 6 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-12-17 13:56:28 UTC]

.901 was removed from the overlay until upstream makes a proper release.

Thanks
