You are in unstable - latest unstable is 1.7.1 (IIRC, 1.7 series anyway). If for some reason, you really need to stick with 1.6, you need to properly mask a few libs. Ati-drivers block xorg-server-1.7.x, so I'm stuck with 1.6.x. What are the libs I need to mask? (In reply to comment #1) > you really need to stick with 1.6, you need to properly mask a few libs. Isn't this exactly what the xorg-server-1.6.5 ebuild should be doing, blocking incompatible libs/headers/protos? I'm experiencing the exact same issue - being forced to use an older nvidia-drivers version (that supports OpenCL) that isn't compatible with xorg-server-1.7. Same here. Masked ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5" to have it working.

I would expect the package to require the exact dependencies which are required to build the package. If I understood the linked bug currectly, it's a shortcoming of portage. You currently can't specify minimum AND maximum versions of a required package, just one of both. Please see comment 12 of the duped bug for the solution. Better yet, use the new nvidia drivers that are compatible with xorg-server 1.7. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 291312 *** (In reply to comment #8) > Better yet, use the new nvidia drivers that are compatible with xorg-server 1.7. unfortunately this driver is incompatible with my Ati HD4850 Or don't support OpenCL yet... That's life. ;-) |
