Bug 96006 – ati's fglrx driver 8.14.13 ebuild is missing vital library file: atiogl_a_dri.so

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Robinson Sathaseevan 2005-06-13 12:58:45 UTC]

The 8.14.13 ebuild didn't copy atiogl_a_dri.so into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/. This file is part of the original rpm released by ATI and is vital for DRI to work with the fglrx driver:

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

Without the file OpenGL applications will not work or use indirect rendering. Extracting the file from the ATI rpm and placing it in the appropriate directory fixes the problem (restart of Xorg results in opengl applications working perfectly as before).

Found the problem in the ebuild. Hopefully fixed, reopen if isn't.
