I'm not sure whether this is a bug or an intentional 'feature', but mplayer-1.0_pre8-r1 tries to update my X server (xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8) to a modular X version. I'm still using the old monolithic X server, and I'm not ready to upgrade yet, so I have masked the newer versions. Mplayer-1.0_pre8 works fine with this X version; what's so different in the -r1 release that it needs the modular X?
Apparently there is a bug in mplayer_1.0_pre8-r1.ebuild, it has xvmc? ( x11-libs/libXvMC ) It should be.. xvmc? ( || ( ( x11-libs/libXvMC ) <virtual-x11-7.0 ) )

Err. I mean virtual/x11 not virtual-x11 of course.
(In reply to comment #2) > Do you have USE="xvmc" enabled? Yes
Not a bug, the -r1 uses xvmc wrappers that are available just on modular X, sorry.
Well. I disabled the xvmc flag, but -r1 still wants to upgrade X. Is *that* intentional?
yes, you won't miss -r1 anyway, believe me.

People, Modular X is stable on all arches except ~s390 and ~x86-fbsd. At some point you'll be forced to upgrade to it anyhow, so get the job done now to avoid futher problems.
There are ABI issues with nvidia with xorg 7.1. I don't want to upgrade to 7.0. I want to skip it.
I can't reopen this bug. Please leave it open until Gentoo drops support for 6.8. Until then, it has to be fixed.

Created attachment 94003 [details, diff] Patch to allow xorg-6.8 Agree with Comment #10 and #11, as long as xorg-6.8 is in the tree all packages that work with 6.8 should have support for 6.8. I've attached a fixed version of my patch from Bug #143578 Using this patch mplayer-1.0_pre8-r1 compiles and runs on my xorg-6.8 box. A patched ebuild only pulls modular xorg if xvmc use flag is set, as proved by the following emerge output: jon@jon ~ $ emerge -pv mplayer These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
