Description Matt Pandina 2003-10-01 13:37:37 UTC 
The ebuild files for xfree-drm and ati-drivers are missing PROVIDE="virtual/opengl" The effect is that every chance Portage gets, it tries to install nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, despite the fact that I do not have an NVIDIA card. This has happend to me on both of my Gentoo/ATI based systems, one in which xfree-drm provides OpenGL support via the Radeon driver, and the other in which ati-drivers provides OpenGL support via the FireGL driver.

check your /var/cache/edb/virtuals file as well please
Comment 2 Richard Garand 2004-01-01 18:53:41 UTC 
Shouldn't PROVIDE="virtual/opengl" be added to the ati-drivers ebuild? It's not too hard...

You're absolutely right, the fix is trivial. Anyone with CVS access should be able to do it in 30 seconds.
Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-03 21:28:15 UTC 
Not the fix, the importance of it.

The real issue is, what constitutes providing the virtual? Does the libGL? etc..
Comment 5 Richard Garand 2004-04-03 21:29:54 UTC 
What about the fact that it's (rightly) an option in opengl-update?
Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-25 13:44:49 UTC 
OK, sounds like a plan.

ati-drivers, nvidia-glx, mtxdrivers-pro, xfree and xorg-x11 all PROVIDE virtual/opengl.
