Upgrade and Re-emerge guide There is a problem in the patch which I submitted to Bug #56248. When performing upgrade and re-emerge, a part of driver is deleted. Please perform upgrade and re-emerge in the following procedure. 1. unmerge xorg-x11. ( emerge -C xorg-x11 ) 2. apply the patch appended to this bug. 3. merge xorg-x11 ( emerge xorg-x11 ) Note: The patch appended to this bug does not contain this problem.
Created attachment 42566 [details, diff] patch for xorg-x11 ebuild Almost all the portions of the patch for 6.7.0 which I submitted to Bug #56248 became unnecessary in 6.8.0-r1. This patch deletes an unnecessary portion. In my environment, even if it applied this patch, xorg-x11 operated. However, I don't know whether it is the same in other environments. Please test!
