[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.0.99 block

[krgn]

hi,

I have a strange blocker on emerge -Dup world:
       [blocks B     ] >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 (is blocking 
media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762)

neither nvidia-glx nor nvidia-kernel is installed on my system and my 
current version of xorg-server is already 1.1.0-r1. Does anyone know why 
this block happens, or how I can find which package keeps claiming 
nvidia-glx as dependancy?

thanks,

It means you have set nvidia in your VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf. This
indicates that you want binary nvidia drivers which are not compatible with
X.org 7.1. Either you must remove nvidia from VIDEO_CARDS variable or mask
X.org 7.1 [1] and stick with 7.0.

Hi,

thanks for your quick reply! I have double checked that I don't have 
nvidia set in the VIDEO_CARDS section make.conf, so its a bit weird that 
its pops up again. I also tried masking it, plus the older version of 
xorg-server (1.0.99), but the block still comes up.
any idea?

This indicates that nvidia-settings is installed and is pulling 
nvidia-{glx,kernel} in. You need to:

# emerge --unmerge media-video/nvidia-settings

This indicates that you have installed x11-misc/transset-df which is no longer 
(if ever) in portage. Do you need this? Otherwise unmerge it. That is not 
related to the above though.

yep , did the job, thanks for pointing this out. I'll remember the 
options and looking more thoroughly into the output of it.

cheers,
