Description inode77 2008-10-16 20:50:33 UTC

The ntpl USE flag is set in the /etc/make.conf but is not used in xorg-server-1.4.2
Due to lack of compatible fglrx driver to xorg-server 1.5.x I'm forced to install the 1.4.2 version but would like to use it in the best possible way.
"media-libs/mesa" needs to be installed with the same "ntpl" USE setting as xorg-server and thus emerging xorg-server leads to an error.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2  USE="dri hal ipv6 sdl xorg xprint -3dfx -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal (-nptl)" 
[ebuild   R   ]  media-libs/mesa-7.2  USE="nptl* -debug -doc -motif -pic -xcb" VIDEO_CARDS="-i810 -mach64 -mga -none -r128 -radeon -s3virge -savage -sis (-sunffb) -tdfx -trident -via" 0 kB

Merge error because mesa does not match the xorg-server "ntpl" setting.

Expected Results:  
xorg-server-1.4.2 is comiles with the nptl flag set.

Comment 2 Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2009-04-09 14:09:28 UTC

I have just hit this bug.

At the time of this writing, mesa-7.3-r1 is the current version for mesa, for which nptl is NOT use-masked in the profile.

Therefore the use check in xorg-server-1.4.2 bails out if mesa is compiled with nptl.

What is the correct way to resolve this? Is the nptl issue fixed in mesa-7.3?

Comment 3 Peter Fox 2009-04-25 11:50:58 UTC

I find kaffeine crashes X on my Acer Aspire 1 with xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 so attempted to revert to 1.4.2 and had the same problem. This uses xf86-video-intel.

I had to add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.mask to get xorg-server-1.4.2 to build again:

>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.0
>=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.6.3
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.0
>=media-libs/mesa-7.1
>=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.0

1) xorg-server 1.5 and mesa 7.3 no longer have NPTL issues, just build both with the same USE flags.

2) xorg-server 1.4.2 is no longer supported since 1.5.3 is now the latest stable.
