Modular X server bugs, annoyances and solutions (Part 1)

Working great here under x86-64 (I had to add all packages in package.keywords as ~x86). I don't understand why the ebuilds don't include ~amd64 (they are already hard masked, aren't they? Then WHY not include all the arches to let people try them whitout having to add them to package.unmask and package.keywords???).

The only problem is the swapped mouse buttons, i'll try the patch for evdev later.

Oh, and one question: which package contains glxgears now?

Hi

I've found two packages that fail to emerge due to the modular Xorg (or at least I think that's the reason):

1) Xaw3d

Last prob: I have a mach64 video card, the glx xorg module is needed to load, but where is it? When i just add loadmodule glx like always, it says no such module. Any idea?

Yes, I do have it emerged and also have imake... Just in case, I have reemerged xorg-cf-files but the *.def files are still missing

Hi,

I test this new xorg with a readeon 9550 and dri activated (kernel 2.6.14 in order to have drm module up to date). It runs quite well.

I have a problem that have not be reported in this thread (or other one) : I have installed glxgears (with the portage overlay glx-utils ebuild). When I run it, its display does not change (weels don't move), but tells that the refresh rate is 75fps. If I maximize the glxgears window, X crash (seg fault). (note : I don't really need 3d acceleration, this is not a critical bug for me).

Does someone have an idea on that problem ? What should I verify ?

Thanks in advance...

Hi guys.

I'm checking out this new xorg-x11-7.0.0-RC1 ebuild and most things seem to work just fine with my Nvidia 5600FX card and the binary driver (version 7676-r1). I ran revdep-rebuild and it's telling me I need to rebuild openmotif, tetex and xine-lib, but they all fail to build.

Openmotif and tetex have components which need to be built against libXp.so.6, which it can't find and xine-lib needs to be built against libXvMC.so.1. Openmotif fails with the following error

Hmmm guess I should have thought of that first!

Hopefully sometime in the distant future these libraries can be a dependency of a USE flag combination.

Since switching to X11R7 I can no longer chose "Idle time reporting: X usage" in the Away/Idle menu of gaim. Anyone having the same problem?

I'm also getting the error that I've seen others report:

I am running xorg-x11-7.0.0-rc1, and things seem to work fine, except for the following (I posted this a couple of days ago, but might as well ask again, since I've been unable to figure it out): Ctrl-Alt-+ no longer works for switching metamodes (I am using the radeon driver with MergedFB). I can't find any relevant messages in the logs, and it seems that the MetaModes are being identified correctly. From my Xorg.0.log:

xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc2 doesn't work with my ATI M9 video card,
I've got ati-drivers installed but there is no 3d acceleration at all.
