Bug 196564 – app-emulation/vice-1.21-r1 doesn't start if compiled with --enable-fullscreen and no xrandr is available

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description sECuRE 2007-10-21 00:31:31 UTC]

vice 1.21-r1 is compiled with --enable-fullscreen, which is hardcoded (!) in the ebuild. If you run Xorg without xrandr, the emulator does not start at all. I "fixed" this by manually changing --enable-fullscreen to --disable-fullscreen

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

please attach your emerge --info output and reopen

I don't see of what use this could be as this is a clear error in the ebuild-file, but here you go:

What's the command that's failing?

x128 and x64 are what I've tested. Both say:
Xrandr not available
Exiting...

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2007-10-21 23:45:03 UTC]

"Xrandr not available" doesn't see to appear in the source so please post the whole output of trying to run /usr/games/bin/x128

Also, please try 1.22 and see if that works better for you.

works fine for me with no xrandr to be found on my system.

[Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2007-10-30 19:17:59 UTC]

need info

Did so.

Sorry for replying so late, -ENOTIME ;-)

[Comment 8 Patrice Levesque 2009-07-10 03:27:13 UTC]

Exactly the same issue occurs with =app-emulation/vice-2.1 and suggested ebuild patch by the original submitter fixes the problem.

[Comment 9 Sebastian Pipping 2010-04-04 22:01:02 UTC]

Bug report QA messages:

 * Please use full package qualifiers
   (e.g. "sys-apps/portage", not just "portage")
   in bug report titles, at the beginning ideally,
   in the future.  Thank you!

fullscreen USE flag is available in vice-2.4.16-r1
