Bug 66749 – Xorg, sis M650 and unresolved symbols.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2004-10-08 05:31:03 UTC]

Hello.

I have sis M650 video card. During startup of my X server I see this error messages:
Symbol drmGetVersion from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol drmFreeVersion from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol drmCommandWrite from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol drmFreeVersion from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved!

Although X starts and works smoothly this messages are frustrating me.

I found the solution. Take the precompiled driver from winischhofer's related page, the problem goes away.

But I think ebuild should be fixed, so compilation of sis driver with xorg ends without such messages...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




This is related part of my xorg.conf: 
Section "Module"  
    Load "dbe"  
    Load "type1"  
    Load "freetype"  
    Load    "extmod"  
    Load    "glx"  
    Load    "record"  
    Load    "speedo"  
EndSection  
  
Section "Device"  
        Driver     "sis"  
        Identifier "SiS 650"  
        VendorName "SiS"  
        BoardName  "650"  
Option "UseColorHWCursor" "yes"  
Option "ForceCRT2Type" "LCD"  
Option "XvOnCRT2" "true"  
Option "PanelDelayCompensation" "6"  
Option "EnableSiSCtrl" "true"  
EndSection

Which X is this? Please try xorg-x11 6.8.

Well. I'll try xorg-6.8.x in the morning when I'll get to my work.
Now I'm using:
[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2  -3dfx -3dnow -cjk -debug -debug -dlloader -doc -ipv6 +mmx +nls +pam -sdk +sse -static

And may be also usefull the full output of emerge --info:

The upgrade to xorg 6.8 solved this problem.
Many thanks to gentoo developers.
