xf86-video-intel-2.13.0 fails to build with xorg-server 1.6 [...] intel_display.c: In function 'intel_output_attach_edid': intel_display.c:750: error: 'MONITOR_EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA' undeclared (first use in this function) intel_display.c:750: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once intel_display.c:750: error: for each function it appears in.) [...] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have xorg-server-1.6* installed 2. emerge =xf86-video-intel-2.13.0 There is a fix upstream, which is include in 2.14.0: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=15aab1ef982fb67eb2ea463089f070afd9a2cfe5 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=d2bc2212f8be746e697a65555d6d83bc66d9ce43 But since xorg-server-1.6* in not in portage anymore, it might be easier to just bump the RDEPEND to >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.7 I have tested both the patch and updating xorg-server, both worked for me.
...and given 1.9 series reached stable (with 1.7 being previous stable), is there a real point ?
*xf86-video-intel-2.14.0 (09 Jan 2011) 09 Jan 2011; Rémi Cardona <remi@gentoo.org> +xf86-video-intel-2.14.0.ebuild: Bump to 2.14.0
My point was that I was updating to the latest stable xf86-video-intel and it failed to build with this weird error. It might have been my stupid fault that I still had xorg-server-1.6.5-r1 installed. But it would have been nice, if portage just automatically updated xorg-server when I tried to update xf86-video-intel. So probably just forget about the patch, but the RDEPEND should be bumped.
Marking as OBSOLETE as xorg-server 1.6 is gone from the portage tree.
