Bug 174959 – Stable X libraries with XCB-related fixes

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2007-04-17 19:13:37 UTC]

Please keyword stable these X libraries, particularly those of you who stabled libX11-1.1.1-r1 for security bug #172752. Otherwise, anyone who builds libX11 with USE=xcb can get application crashes due to locking bugs fixed in more recent versions of these X libraries.

[Comment 1 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2007-04-17 19:14:24 UTC]

Here is the list:

libXrandr-1.2.1   
libXi-1.1.0   
libXfixes-4.0.3   
libXdamage-1.1
libXcomposite-0.3.1

[Comment 2 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) 2007-04-17 20:01:43 UTC]

Sparc all done.  Note that all but libXfixes and libXcomposite also require a version bump in x11-proto files.  (I have been running these versions on my systems for quite some time and have not encountered any problems.)

ia64 + x86 stable

[Comment 7 Benjamin Gaillard 2007-04-19 03:14:48 UTC]

I experienced some problems after these libraries got updated. They are actually caused by the x11-proto/* files being updated while xorg-server isn't (it's still using the former protocol specifications). For instance, the global keyboard shortcut stopped working (inputproto) as well as the composite manager (namely Beryl) (damageproto), etc... A simple rebuild of x11-base/xorg-server fixes these issues.

I added some ewarns to this effect.
