Description Jules Gagnon 2004-01-31 08:01:46 UTC
The new i2c api used by i2c-2.8.x is not supported by mgavideo-0.1.0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge i2c or a kernel with i2c-2.8
2. emerge mgavideo
3.

Actual Results:  
mgavideo is not able to compile mgai2c and stop. The package is merge anyway but
many modules are missing.

Expected Results:  
There should be a patch to allow compiling with i2c-2.8

patch for mgavideo-0.1.1b which allow compiling with i2c-2.8

I didn't find a patch for mgavideo-0.1.0 but i found this one in
kernel-multimedia-source-2.4.22-21mm.1mdk.i586.rpm for mgavideo-0.1.1b

ebuild for mgavideo-0.1.1b with patch for i2c

I copied the ebuild for mgavideo-0.1.0, added the patch for i2c and removed
tuner.o which is no longer included.

I suggest to use mgavideo-0.1.1b. I have used it for more than 6 months without
problems. It is out since 2002-11-29 and no stable version have been released
since then.
Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-18 02:04:47 UTC
Bryan can you handle this?
Comment 4 Joel Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-15 08:17:06 UTC
*** Bug 40664 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Joel Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-15 08:21:13 UTC
changed summary to more accurately reflect that this is no longer just a i2c
problem, but a new version of mgavideo.

Previous summary: "media-video/mgavideo-0.1.0 doesn't compile with i2c-2.8"
Comment 6 Jules Gagnon 2005-04-28 07:21:50 UTC
I don't what is the policy with that but I think mgavideo could be removed from portage. It's no longer maintened and it applicable only to 2.4 kernels.

The 2.6 driver is available on CVS at https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1764, it's called driver_fb but it need a kernel patch so it's not easily packagable for gentoo.

Personnaly, I no longer use my matrox card for capture and I use a 2.6 kernel so I can't easily provide more help on this.
Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-02 04:26:57 UTC
As for latest comment, changing this as WONTFIX as it's ot going to be fixed for now. If someone wants to step in and maintain it, it's wellcome.
