I cant manage to build with emerge the VMWare Gallium driver for Xorg; should be in:

  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmwgfx_drv.so

All the "classic", "vmware" and "gallium" flags are set:

[code]
root@sysresccd /root % emerge -pv mesa

 * IMPORTANT: 1 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
 * man page to learn how to update config files.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/mesa-7.9  USE="classic gallium nptl -debug -gles -llvm -motif -pic (-selinux)" VIDEO_CARDS="intel mach64 r128 radeon sis via vmware -mga -nouveau -savage -tdfx" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
[/code]

In the ebuild they call it also "gallium-svga", but "svga" is "use.mask"ED globally from the profile.

Other components are properly installed:

Strangly enough, after manually untaring the distfile and 

[code]
configure --enable-gallium-svga
make
[/code]

it got build !
/media/SYSRESCCD/portage/distfiles/Mesa-7.9/src/gallium/targets/xorg-vmwgfx/vmwgfx_drv.so
so I just copied it to the xorg drivers location...

Ive got no clue whats is going wrong else. Any ideas ? - Thanks in advance !

In the ebuild I added "xorg" to the state trackers list

  --with-state-trackers=glx,dri,egl,vega,xorg

and got vmwgfx_drv.so installed. (tested with mesa-7.9.1)

As my intention was explicitly to not mess with the ebuild - if this is supposed to be a fix ? Who is then in charge to transfer it into the portage tree ? - Thanks !

[Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2011-02-22 20:49:45 UTC]

Adding the xorg state tracker will cause circular dependency issues, as it cannot be built before xorg-server.

not work for mesa-7.11

[Comment 5 Matt Turner 2013-02-23 03:09:18 UTC]

7.9 is no longer in the tree.
