x11-drivers/xf86-video-openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome-20060912.ebuild
ebuild for openchome x11 driver.
Do they not do regular releases like everyone else in the world? No, no release manager for the project: http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2006-March/000733.html Snapshots of the svn repository is probally the best way, until things get more stable. Openchrome has been adding new features and hardware support for over a year now. There is a gentoo wiki page on the svn building, but having an ebuild for a driver for the unichrome. There are other "via" drivers for this chip, but they do not support xvmc on some hardware. http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=The+Different+Unichrome+family+display+drivers Not interested in adding these to the tree till they do real releases. Until then, feel free to stick in some overlay like sunrise and reopen this bug when they've got releases. Openchome is the way to get xvmc support on MythTV working with the UniChrome-Pro hardware: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC#Unichrome *** Bug 150250 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 134962 [details] xf86-video-openchrome-0.2.900.ebuild http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2007-October/003662.html The openchrome team is proud to announce the first openchrome 0.3.0 release candidate. http://www.openchrome.org/releases/xf86-video-openchrome-0.2.900.tar.bz2 (In reply to comment #4) > Not interested in adding these to the tree till they do real releases.

Does this make it suitable for incluson in portage? http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2008-January/003905.html Renaming the above 0.2.900 ebuild installs the latest release, which is working fine so far. Their website seems to be down, so I can't look at your link. It's working from here now. The releases themselves are at http://www.openchrome.org/releases Hey Steve, I think you were talking about this. Created attachment 140709 [details]

In case someone is interested, here's overlay with openchrome ebuilds: http://repo.or.cz/w/openchrome.git Article in openChrome wiki explains how to use it with layman. Added to the tree, thanks for your patience. |
