• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Henning Ryll 2009-02-08 10:35:30 UTC]

1.) VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf is not recognised
2.) emerge DirectFB say's
 * All video drivers will be built since you did not specify
 * via the VIDEO_CARDS variable what video card you use.
but the result is:
Building Graphics Drivers:
  3Dfx Voodoo               no
  ATI Mach64                no
  ATI Rage 128              no
  ATI Radeon                no
  Cirrus EP9X               no
  Intel i810                no
  Intel i830                no
  Matrox                    no
  NeoMagic                  no
  NSC Geode                 no
  nVidia                    no

  VIA UniChrome             no
  VMWare                    no   

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
1.) VIDEO_CARDS should be used
2.) If no VIDEO_CARD is given, all modules should be build

Created attachment 181304 [details]
Output of "emerge DirectFB" 1.2.27

[Comment 2 Bodo Thiesen 2009-02-23 21:06:01 UTC]

Same here

/etc/make.conf:
VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vesa fbdev"

 * Messages for package dev-libs/DirectFB-1.2.6:

 * All video drivers will be built since you did not specify
 * via the VIDEO_CARDS variable what video card you use.
 * DirectFB supports: ati128 cle266 cyber5k i810 i830 mach64 matrox neomagic none nsc nvidia radeon savage sis315 tdfx unichrome all none
 * Each DirectFB update in the 0.9.xx series
 * breaks DirectFB related applications.
 * Please run "revdep-rebuild" which can be
 * found by emerging the package 'gentoolkit'.
 * 
 * If you have an ALPS touchpad, then you might
 * get your mouse unexpectedly set in absolute
 * mode in all DirectFB applications.
 * This can be fixed by removing linuxinput from
 * INPUT_DEVICES.

MAYBE(!) this bug is connected to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217796

@reporter: May you change the Severity to enhancement, because this doesn't cause the ebuild to fail - it just causes non-neccessary parts to be build.

[Comment 3 Henning Ryll 2009-02-26 18:35:19 UTC]

Sorry, you are wrong.
Because no driver is build (not more then needed), the ebuild is still unusable -> severity major

This bug is essentially duplicate of 217796 and that bug contains more information, so this should be closed and marked as duplicate.
