[gentoo-user] What do I mask to go back to xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6

[Mark Knecht]

I'm having a terrible time figuring this out. xorg-server-1.5 has
totally broken my wife's machine in terms of the one thing she wants
for fun which is MythTV. I need to take the machine back to the
previous version of xorg-server but so far I Cannot figure out what to
remove with emerge -C and what to mask to get this to work.

Can someone better than I please tell me what to do here?

Thanks,
Mark

I'm not better but I did the same thing on my rig.  I hope this will help.

Just put that in your package.mask file and run emerge -uvDNa world.

No problem.  Just because I had to do it the hard way, one at a time,
doesn't mean everybody else should have to to.

We have autounmask, maybe we need automask too?  It's a thought.

I'm trying to roll back xorg-server, and I keep getting stuck:

camille log # emerge -pvuD world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5" have
been masked.

How do I get passed (sp?) this?

Nevermind.  I unmerged xorg-server (which I rolled back manually) and
the blockage is resolved.

You need to mask the most recent intel drivers 
(x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel)

You may also want other stuff.  To stop xorg-server-1.5 I had to add

>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.3.1
>=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2

But there are still some 72 packages that want to emerge, a lot of them from
x11-drivers; and I'm still too nervous about this to let it proceed.

You may need to check packages.keywords/unmask/mask to look for things
added earlier. I had a ~x86 on the intel driver package which was
causing the driver to go newer and this was forcing the xorg-server to
go newer, etc. Make sure you don't have anything like that hanging
about.

Note that mythfrontend started segfaulting on an intel graphics
machine when I went to the newer xorg. Unfortunately it did not stop
segfaulting when I went back. I cannot explain this yet.

When you reverted back to the prior working versions, did you also revert back 
to the prior working *configuration files*?

I believe I did but there's always a chance for mistakes. This is
getting more confusing all the time. I've now gone back and forth
between old and new a couple of times and there are other issues
showing up with even building the older versions anymore. I cannot
even get the older intel driver to build on this morning's pass with
the older xorg-server, so I've gone to the new xorg again just so my
wife can use the system. It definitely built last evening.

1) With the old xorg I used xorg.conf, keyboard, mouse and intel in
make.conf. (I think it was intel and not i810 in make.conf.) I used
i810 in xorg.conf.
2) With the new xorg I renamed xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old and used the
default automatically provided by xorg and hald. In make.conf I used
evdev and intel.
3) I believe hald was enabled in both configurations, but possibly it
was turned off with the older xorg. Don't know any way to check for
sure.

With the old xorg the i810 driver got loaded from
xf86-video-intel-2.1.1, at least according to my emerge.log file that
was what was on the system prior to recent updates. I know for certain
that the driver in memory was i810. With the new xorg the i915 driver
got loaded from xf86-video-intel-2.6.3.r1.

As far as I know both times the dri flag was set when the above
packages were compiled.

This is all pretty messed up at this point. for the day anyway I seem
to be forced to use the newer xorg-server and mythfrontend still
segfaults. I see a couple of messages in different log files, all
relating to being unable to pin an xv buffer. The exact message was:

(EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer

With another line saying it had segfault. There was no backtrace of any kind.

The second post in the following thread sounds similar to my results
although he was able to get things working and he's using 1 version
newer on xorg-server (1.6) than we are talking about here:

http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-3222.html

At this point I'm lost and with trading to  do and taxes to get out
today I'm buried. Maybe more tomorrow when things calm down.

Thanks,
Mark
