If you are having problems like this emerge libsdl with media-libs/libsdl -video-x11-dgamouse in /etc/portage/package.use Comment on attachment 143014 [details]
libsdl-1.2.13-r1.ebuild
no idea what this ebuild is supposed to show. please post diffs, not entire files.
The modification is the inclusion of a new use flag video-x11-dgamouse. It is in the configure options of the sdl package but the libsdl ebuild in the portage tree doesn't allow for disabling it. There are some people who are experiencing mouse problems because of the dgamouse extension with xorg-server 1.4. This enables you to build libsdl with dgamouse disabled.

Difference between ebuilds
I encountered a remarkably similar problem about the time when I upgraded xf86-input-evdev to 1.2.0. Are the poeple with this problem using evdev? Anyway, the short-term fix I used is to place this in my xorg.conf: Section "Module" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit XFree86-DGA" EndSubSection EndSection That worked for me, but I'm still not sure exactly what caused this problem in the first place. When I get a chance I will test to see if that will change anything. But Im not using evdev. Not for my mouse. Your xorg entry solves problem. Seems easier than new ebuild so thats the better fix, but still, why is it that we need to do this? |
