Bug 115816 – Proper modular X fix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joël 2005-12-16 15:57:24 UTC]

With xorg-server-0.99.4-r2, the ati-drivers-8.20.8 ebuild puts fglrx modules in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/xorg/modules.

A quick workaround is:

--- /usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.20.8.ebuild      2005-12-11 04:55:47.000000000 +0100

                   [ "$(get_version_component_range 3 ${X11_IMPLEM_V})" = 99 ]
                then
                        BASE_NAME="${BASE_NAME}90"
+                       xlibdir="xorg"
                else
                        BASE_NAME="${BASE_NAME}$(get_version_component_range 2 ${X11_IMPLEM_V})0"
                fi

But I don't know if this breaks something for other people.

Thanks

Proper fix for modular X

This is proper fix for modular X. I am gonna assign to lu_zero so we can get it pushed into the tree.

Assigning to lu_zero to push to tree unless he states otherwise.

Thanks !

By the way, I think there's a second path-related issue in this ebuild: The ${X11_IMPLEM} variable equals 'x11' and not 'xorg-x11', so the 'sed' command produces a zero-byte /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.la, which in turn causes bug #112427.

[Comment 5 Joël 2005-12-18 15:06:26 UTC]

Nice, your new ebuild seems to solve bug #112427 as well :-)

Just one thing though: in the "/usr/lib/opengl/ati/" directory, it creates a symlink called "extensions" which points to "../xorg-x11/extensions" which does not exist.

Fixed in CVS.
