[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.5 breaks X, How to downgrade?

[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.5 breaks X, How to downgrade?

[Grant]

Upgrading to xorg-server-1.5 went relatively smoothly on 2 laptops,
but my first attempt on a desktop has been a failure.  I get:

Backtrace:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 260: dl_open_worker:
Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args->nsid)->r_state ==
RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

So many packages were upgraded along with xorg-server that I'm not
sure what to downgrade.  Here are the packages that were upgraded at
the same time.  Can anyone suggest any to downgrade?  I've already
downgraded to xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 and mesa-6.5.2-r1.

dev-db:sqlite
sys-libs:timezone-data
dev-libs:libevent
x11-misc:util-macros
x11-proto:xproto
x11-proto:inputproto
x11-libs:xtrans

x11-proto:randrproto
x11-libs:pixman

Should I just mask the installed version of all of these?  Thanks for
any advice.

Please read the thread from yesterday entitled

"What do I mask to go back to xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6"

This is the list I used:

>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r4
=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2

That should be a start at least.

You happen to have a camera that is ptp?  Mine is a Canon and it won't
work.  I'm not sure if it is something during this upgrade or something
else.  If you do have one, see if it works.  May want to check your
printer if it is USB.  If you don't have any of that, disregard.

Glad you got it sorted out tho.  Having a GUI is nice.

I do have a Logitech camera attached but I don't know what ptp is and
I can't get an answer from Google.  I also have 2 USB printers
attached.  I'm not sure if they worked under xorg-server-1.5 though
since I didn't test them.  Very happy to have a GUI again. :)

PTP is Picture Transfer Protocol. Basically a standard protocol for
connecting a digital camera (rather than each vendor using their
proprietary method). I think if you use gphoto2 it can detect attached
cameras and protocols.

I'm emerging gphoto2 now, but isn't it just a way of getting photos
from your camera (Nokia N82 here) onto your system?  With dbus, when I
plug my camera into USB, it automounts and I can copy the photos over
easily.

Well, there is libgphoto2 which is what most (all?) of the camera
programs use to access the camera, because many (most?) cameras lack
USB mass storage support... one such camera would be my Canon. :)
Since you can't mount the camera and just browse and copy the files,
programs need to use libgphoto2 (or similar) to be able to communicate
with the camera and do things like list the files or download the
images to the PC.

I guess with your N82 you're just connecting it in mass storage mode
and not using gnokii or anything, right? So in that case you don't
need any special software such as gphoto2, you can just copy the files
as if you were using a card reader. Which, by the way, is why I use a
card reader with my camera instead of the stupid PTP interface. :) On
my N95 I don't take many pictures, so I used to use bluetooth to send
it to my PC... but apparently bluez is all kinds of broken right now,
and KDE4 may not have any bluetooth at all as far as I know, so now
I'll  just e-mail them from the phone or use Share Online to post it
to the web.

By the way - speaking of photos on your N82, I recommend trying
http://betalabs.nokia.com/betas/view/nokia-photo-browser if you
haven't already.  It's very basic but has lots of potential. :)
