Description Emmanuel Anne 2014-08-12 11:30:30 UTC 
the standard build of feh has no zoom/rotation (normaly when you hold the middle mouse button on a picture and move the mouse, the zoom effect is immediate, here nothing happens)
After a short investigation, the problem seems to be in imlib2.
It's built on an amd64 system, it has most use flags when building it with emerge :

ebuild   R    ] media-libs/imlib2-1.4.6-r2  USE="X bzip2 gif jpeg mp3 nls png zlib -doc (-mmx) -static-libs -tiff" ABI_X86="(64) (-32) (-x32)" 0 kB

and despite this I get at the end of configure :
Use X86 MMX for speed.....: no
Use AMD64 for speed.......: no
disabling mmx in amd64 mode is normal, but amd64 assembly should be enabled.
I compiled it manually to check this, and when I ran configure I had "use amd64 for speed = yes" of course, without passing any special parameter to configure, and after installing it, feh retrieved its very fast zoom !

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -av imlib2 on an amd64 system
2.Check the configure summary at the end (should have "use amd64 for speed = yes")
3. eventually check feh zoom with middle mouse button + mouse move on a picture

Please post your emerge --info. For whatever reason the 'mmx' flag is disabled in your profile

Ok this is the reason

arch/amd64/package.use.mask:media-libs/imlib2 mmx

mmx flag is masked on imlib2 because of:

# Jeremy Olexa <darkside@gentoo.org> (07 Feb 2009)
# USE=mmx on imlib2 causes issues with other apps. See bug 218382 (comments

media-libs/imlib2 mmx

You can force unmask it yourself if you want to. Closing as duplicate of 218382

Sorry, I don't recall specifics of an event 5 years ago, I guess it seemed right at the time..?
