[gentoo-user] xorg-server and ati-drivers 'bussiness'

[Martins]

Hi,

After updating to latest unstable xorg-server and ati-drivers I'm hit again 
with incompatible driver versions. Shouldnt be there BIG warning for those 
who have fglrx in make.conf?

Looking into Xorg.log i see that xorg-server-1.2 belongs to Xorg-7.2 however I 
have masked it, is it dependencies bug I was able emerge part of package I 
have masked?

... meanwhile downgrading xorg-server

I'm having the same problems. ati-drivers insists on using X.org-7.1.0.0 
or earlier, obviously because the drivers were compiled against that 
version. 

I don't have the ati-drivers source code so I can't tell if there was an 
ABI change that the driver enforces, or if ATI simply hardcoded the 
drivers to fail. I'm betting on the latter....

In either case the solution would appear to be a hard dependency on <= 
X.org-7.1.0.0 in the ebuild. Have you submitted a bug to bgo?

Here's an update:

I downloaded and emerged xorg-server-1.2.0, xorg-x11-7.2 and 
ati-drivers-8.32.5 over the weekend and it all went smoothly. So it 
would seem that ati-drivers does need a hard dependency on 
<xorg-x11-7.2. File the bug against ati-drivers asking for a hard dep

Hi,

I upgraded xorg-server, xorg-x11 and all the stuff :
xf86-input-keyboard, etc... to 7.2.
But ati-drivers-8.32.5 doesn't work anymore with ati radeon 9600 graphic
card.
So I unmerged ati-drivers, merged x11-drm and I use now Open Source
radeon driver.
It works fine with 3D.

Cheers
