Description Ben 2010-08-25 19:07:29 UTC

Seems that speed-dreams will crash if it's built with xrandr and xrandr isn't enabled on the machine.  Pass --disable-xrandr to egamesconf.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable xrandr on your X server
2. emerge speed-dreams
3. run speed-dreams

Actual Results:  
crash happens right away
running in debug mode indicates it got caught up in xrandr code

Expected Results:  
Should have a USE flag for the ebuild to disable xrandr if not desired.


I rewrote the ebuild like this so I can install it on my xrandr-disabled machine:

http://users.vanade.com/~blc/speed-dreams-1.4.0-r666.ebuild

Might be a better way to write this or if there's already an xrandr flag that could be shared with other packages...
