Bug 349957 – media-libs/mesa-7.9 does not create some DRI files

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Etaoin Shrdlu 2010-12-28 13:37:31 UTC]

Not sure this is a bug; maybe it's just lack of information on my part.

My video card is 

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]

for which I'm using the open source driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.13.2). I saw this in my Xorg.0.log:

[    73.582] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/r300_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[    73.582] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Sure enough, the file isn't there. Reading, I found that the file should be provided by mesa. However, emerging mesa with USE=classic only creates r200_dri.so and radeon_dri.so; emerging mesa with USE=gallium creates a file called r300g_dri.so. In both cases, X complains.
So: how to either get the plain r300_dri.so with USE=classic, or alternatively instruct X to look for r300g_dri.so?

I've noticed that there is a file called r300_dri.so under usr/lib64/mesa. Would it just be a matter of symlinking that one?

Reproducible: Always

Since all the other files under /usr/lib64/dri are symlinks to files in /usr/lib64/mesa, I bit the bullet and created a symlink for the r300 too.
It seems indeed that creating the symlink makes X happy, and doesn't seem to have cause other ill effects (so far).

So maybe the ebuild should create the link automatically?

Ok, shame on me:

eselect mesa set r300 classic

is what I needed. Sorry for th enoise.
