[gentoo-user] xorg-x11 upgrade

[gentoo-user] xorg-x11 upgrade

[Dave Jones]

Hi,

The stable branch xorg-x11 seems to have been upgraded to version
xorg-x11-7.0-r1.

However, emerge -puDNv world shows the new x11-xorg blocked by
xorg-x11-6.9.

I don't understand this, as I have xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 installed.

OK, the new meta-package may be very nice, but I really don't want to
compile all the drivers for devices I don't have on my system.  At the
moment I use the proprietary nvidia drivers; are these supported under
xorg-x11-7.0?

Any ideas about the v6.9 blocker / tips / pointers?

Cheers, Dave

Read more carefully. It's blocked by '<=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9'. Note the less 
than sign.

Then set VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in /etc/make.conf. It's all covered in [1].

Oops, my mistake.

Bo, Dirk, thanks for the information. I'll get to work on this (major)
update.  I'll add the nv driver to VIDEO_CARDS as well to have a fall
back in case the binary nvidia drivers won't work with the new x11.

Cheers, Dave

FYI, I'm using nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762 with xorg 7.0, and they work fine.

Thanks, and good to hear. I've been waiting for some souls braver than
I to upgrade first before making the jump myself.

Same results with my system, after emerging x11 I had to re-emerge
nvidia-glx and it's all fine.  Well, the back/forward buttons on my
logitech mx700 don't work, but that's a relatively minor thing.  My
desktop looks exactly the same as it did before :)

Those mouse buttons will work fine with a little configuration:

Related to this, are we all still waiting on newer nvidia drivers for the
Xorg 7.1 upgrades? I recall that was a problem and reading that the two are
not compatible yet...

Anyone know what's going on with portage?

I thought I would be careful and not jump the gun on upgrading....alas
stable has always been good to me, I see a confimration that nvidia is good
to go in 7.0.

I bite the bullet and unmerge xorg then do the whole update world dance and
viola...

In the gentoo forums some were reporting this problem went away. WTF?

I must have wobbly windows. :P

It probably has been fixed already. Just do an `emerge --sync` and try
again. If you are still having problems, then take a look at this bug
report http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138645 and watch it for
any changes.

It seems like this won't be fixed before the 9xxx drivers are released,
apparently in autumn (I really hope Nvidia are in the northern
hemisphere :)

Those drivers work fine with a few minor changes.

How does turning off acceleration equate with working fine?

One is the old, big package, the other is for the meta packages. You can 
only have one.

You don't need to. Put variables INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS 
into /etc/make.conf.

Don't know, would guess yes.

emerge -C xorg-x11; emerge xorg-x11 (or -puDNv world).
