Not directly an X bug then :) Upstream have said this will be fixed in the next release, and is not a bug. I'm going to wait until upstream get this sorted. Do feel free to file version bump bugs if we don't get on those quickly enough. Thanks...

Thanks... > hello mike, I saw that comment on sf.net. the mentioned patch is against 0.8.2-2, and I didn't have problem with 0.8.3_p2 ebuild so maybe it really was fixed in "the next dash release", but arose again in 0.8.3_p6 and 0.8.4_p1 anyway, just brought this up so people with similar problem/hardware know there's a fix Ok, thanks, I missed that. This is caused by the solution to bug 276119, where we've changed autoconf so that it doesn't rely on xf86config, and then specifically disable it. My guess is that it won't compile against xorg-1.6.0 correctly if it tries to use libxf86config because, as ping said in the upstream bug, they need to use a new interface to get back that information. The upstream bug is also still open, suggesting that it hasn't been properly fixed. Lastly, bug 276119 also mentions that packages are moving away from using libxf86config. So unfortunately, since this bug affects a very small number of people (those wanting to use an external script), rather than the large number of people in bug 276119 (those wanting to use linuxwacom and xorg-1.6), I'm going to leave this as marked UPSTREAM. |
